Watch his full remarks here. Excerpts and highlights below
“I rise today in honor of Draco Miller, a cherished member of our Brownwood community, who sadly passed away on February 16th, 2023.
“Draco was a father, husband, son, business owner, and public servant to the community of Brownwood—as a City Councilmember, mentor to our youth, and leader in numerous service-oriented boards and organizations.
“In 2022, Draco was named the “Man of the Year” by the Brownwood Chamber of Commerce for his service to Brownwood. In his own words, he said: ‘This is my city and I love my city, there's no place like home!’
“Although he loved and cherished Brownwood, his family was the most important facet of his life. He dedicated his life to passing along his long-held values of faith, family, and a strong work ethic.
“He is remembered for his seemingly endless energy, optimism, and goodwill that carried him through decades of community involvement and community improvement projects.
“Although we mourn his loss, I know his legacy will live on through his wife Sonja, their children, many extended family members, and the entire Brownwood community.”
