Former Democratic state Sen. Art Miller Jr., who served in the Michigan Senate for 26 years, died Thursday, his family confirmed.
"He lived a great life; and he truly had a gift to bring people together; and he genuinely loved people," said his son, Derek Miller, who has served as a state representative, Macomb County treasurer and assistant prosecutor.
He said his 73-year-old father loved his community, Macomb County and the city of Warren, where he lived.
He said his father had lung cancer, but was working and undergoing treatments since January. He died at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak after being hospitalized for a week.
