Cpl Dennis Miller Save the Stache Campaign Army Vet

Corporal Dennis Miller has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. The cancer has metastasized into his bones and spine. Corporal Miller is one of the officers that put his life on the line on that fateful day in 2012 at the Tulsa County Courthouse by stopping an active shooter. He is a man with a heart of gold, the kind of man that takes care of people when they are in need.

Dennis devoted his life to the service of his country in the U.S. Army for over two decades and followed with more service to his community in the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Department. His selfless giving was most recently exhibited as he and his high school sweet heart, Christine, took care of her mother, Patricia. She endured her own cancer battles first, with breast cancer last summer and then with brain cancer at Christmas 2015. From July of 2015 to March 2016, they selflessly cared for her; making her final days comfortable as she fought cancer with dignity. They traveled back and forth to Patricia’s home in another state while she underwent a double mastectomy. On Christmas Eve 2015 while visiting in Tulsa, Patricia had seizure like symptoms, was rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with brain cancer. Unable to return to her home, Dennis and Christine made sure that Patricia was comfortable and well taken care of during her valiant fight against a growing brain tumor. Dennis and Christine lost Patricia in March 2016. Together they loved and cared for Patricia throughout the last 3 months of her life, all the while Dennis worked full time, helping in his off time.

Now, Corporal Miller is the one in the fight for his life! Dennis is the primary breadwinner and his recent diagnosis of bone & breast cancer has placed his family in a precarious situation. There were many unknown expenses that came up during Patricia’s cancer battle. Those expenses depleted their savings as they worked to take care of his mother in law. Now, they face similar expenses as Dennis fights his own cancer battle. Dennis has had to take an extended leave and will be forced into early retirement from the Sheriff’s Department at the end of the year due to the seriousness of his illness. Although the prognosis for this type of cancer is 22%, Dennis is determined and Army strong in his resolve to beat this. We believe in him.
