After his passing, his mother Patricia Miller spoke out about the tragic loss, thanking fans, friends and colleagues for the "overwhelming amount of love" their family received.

"He fought a long hard valiant battle with bipolar depression for years," she said in a Sept. 18 statement shared to social media by the actor's publicist.

The soap opera star was also honored with touching tributes shared by fellow costars, including Chrishell Stause, who worked alongside Miller on All My Children.

"Too many feelings," she wrote in a social post at the time, "but you are gone way too soon and I'm so happy I got to work with you all those years, but also call you a friend. I hope you are at peace now."

Miller's Ringer costar Sarah Michelle Geller also reflected on his lasting legacy, noting in an Instagram Story post, "It was an honor to work with you but more of an honor to know you."
