Asa-Hossein Pateriya Millar

Asa-Hossein Pateriya Millar was born to Mary Elizabeth Millar on November 4, 1991 in Sacramento, California. He was an active little fellow with a twinkle of curiosity in his eyes. He was home schooled in his early years by his mother. During his early years, Asa spent several summers with his cousin, Michael Miller in St. Louis, Missouri, which he always looked forward to. In 1999, when Asa was only seven years old, his mother Mary passed away. His aunt Eva (his mother's sister) and uncle Robert took Asa into their home and raised him as their own son. The fact that he had previously spent so much time in St. Louis, made the transition smoother than it might have been otherwise. Asa adjusted quite well and attended elementary through high school in St. Louis and graduated from Kirkwood High School in 2009. After graduating from high school, Asa attended Forest Park Community College where he earned an Associate's Degree in Accounting in 2012. College is also where his love of performing flourished. He started taking improv classes and began acting in short films. He worked hard to save money to move to Atlanta, Georgia in 2015, where he sought to further his acting career. While living in Atlanta, he completed his (BA) degree in Business Administration from Columbia College (St.Louis, MO.) in March 2019. Prior to his passing, Asa was preparing to go back to school to pursue a law degree in real estate. He was working at the Law Firm RUBINLUBIN,LLC., at that time. Some of his previous Jobs include auction.com and the Marriott. He also worked in making music and gospel videos and commercials. Asa’s last visit home to St. Louis was in September 2017, when he particpated in his brother Michael’s wedding. Although it was short, Asa’s life of 27 years was full. Along the way, he impacted many lives and he was loved by all who were fortunate enough to get to know him, His life can be best expressed by the lyrics of the song sung by the Statler Brothers, “A Beautiful Life”. Each day I’ll do a golden deed By helping those who are in need My life on earth is a span And so, I’ll do the best I can Life’s evening sun is sinking low A few more days And I must go To meet the deeds that I have done Where there will be no setting sun Left to mourn his loss are his (adoptive) mother – Eva, (adoptive) father – Robert, (adoptive) brother – Michael (Monica), (adoptive grandparents) Milton Miller, Doris Miller, brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, and host of other relatives and friends
