Mike and all,
Oh, my heart is so sad.  I have admired and loved Steve for as long as I have known you all in NWOPC. I remember that Sue Dwyer first told me about him, and I wanted to meet this man who cared about peace with his whole being. I last saw him at our Earth Day action on the UT campus when he carried the sign, Drop Seeds Not Bombs.  See the photo below.

I want to help with a memorial for Steve.  Let me know how I can assist.  I can't believe I won't hear his voice again.
Peace,
Josie

Dear Friends,
This morning I got a call from Sandy Craig, Steve Miller's landlord and next-door neighbor, that Steve was found dead in his apartment earlier today.  Sandy talked with the police who estimated he died some time over the weekend.
Steve's brother, Mike, who lives in Michigan, has been informed.  Other than that I don't know of any family members except for those of us in his large, extended family in the movement.
Sandy will contact Steve's brother to see if he wants to go through his personal effects.  Sandy and Susan will be cleaning out the apartment at some point after that. 
As we know, Steve didn't care much for material possessions but he did leave quite a library of books and mementos that will need to be taken care of. 
If any of you would like to help with those details and to plan a memorial for him, let me know.

Don't wait to tell someone you love them.
