Yulan Miller

Yulan Miller husband, father, grandfather, and friend passed away peacefully at home on October 18, 2024.

Yulan was born in Oklahoma to parents Aaron (Pop) and Lora (Mom) Miller. He had two siblings Jerl and George. The family made its way to California from Oklahoma for a better life. On the way to Fresno, California where they planned to get jobs picking cotton the truck broke down. To make money to get the truck fixed they took jobs in Fillmore picking fruit. Turns out the company was looking for a mule skinner and Pop happily accepted making Fillmore their forever home. This was very lucky for Yulan as this is where he met and married the love of his life Pansy. They made a home in Fillmore and raised two boys Dan and Glenn. Yulan always had a passion for horses and cattle. He would raise horses and ride them for others. Yulan and Aaron started raising cattle with the Campbell family in 1957 before going out on their own in 1959. Yulan and family continued to run the cattle until he retired but of course he still had a lot of input. Yulan has been honored as a past Cattleman of the year for the Ventura County Cattleman’s Association for his work with the cattle and community. 

Yulan has been a husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and even Smokey the Bear, he will always be remembered as a loving and kind man that would help anyone that needed it. He has touched so many lives and will be missed by all. We love him and will miss him always.
