Cali Rain Miller

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Cali Rain Miller, who left us on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at the tender age of 16. Born on September 17, 2008, in Anderson, South Carolina, Cali grew up in North Middletown, Kentucky, where she was known for her artistic talent and gentle spirit.

Cali was a remarkable artist, often found expressing her creativity through drawings. As a member of the art club at the Paris library, she shared her passion for creativity with others and inspired those around her. Many remember her as a caring and beautiful soul, possessing a quiet strength that shone through her soft-spoken demeanor.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, Cali was an extraordinary big sister, exemplifying love, loyalty, and support for her family. Her sense of humor and wit brought joy to those she interacted with, effortlessly lighting up any room. Cali embodied gratitude and appreciation, always standing up for others and extending kindness to those in need.

Cali had a deep love for travel, cherishing the moments spent visiting the beach, where she found peace and solace. Her free spirit was a testament to her adventurous nature, and her memories will forever reside in the hearts of those she touched.

Cali is survived by her loving parents; Jennifer Miller and Justin Miller; brothers, Cash and Finley Miller; grandparents, Angel and Euing Clark, Derek and Deborah Mattison, Charlene "Char-Char" and James Stamper; aunt, Emily Mattison (Derek Wightman), uncles; Brandon Mattison (Katie), and Joshua Mattison, cousins; Ryker Wightman, and Fletcher Wightman; special sister, Makenzie Stamper. Who will carry her legacy forward with pride and fond remembrance. 

Cali is preceded in death by her grandfather Oscar "Leonard" Miller and cousin Archer Wightman.
