Mr. Mier was born June 12, 1964, and was a native of San Mateo but grew up on the coast. In his youth, he was a member of the Cub Scouts, Pack 285, and of Boy Scout Troop 285. Also while in his youth, he loved to explore and fish in the canyons around the coast, and spent as much time as he could at Yosemite National Park. Mr. Mier was also a long-time member of Holy Family Episcopal Church. He was a professional long-distance truck driver who traveled all around the country on his job before moving to Georgia. He was an avid outdoorsman, and recognized for his skill in wilderness survival. He particularly enjoyed fly-fishing, rock climbing, camping and backpacking. He was very knowledgeable about Georgia trails and fly-fishing sites, and had an unfulfilled desire to walk the Appalachian Trail. Mr. Mier is survived by his parents, David Mier and Carmen Giedt of Half Moon Bay and Nancy Mier and Curt Tipton of Duluth, Ga. He is also survived by his grandmothers Alice Mier of Oakhurst, Calif., and Mrs. Tense Senger of Blue Ridge, Ga., and his brother and sister-in-law Joel and Samantha Mier, and niece and nephew Amanda and Cole Mier, all of San Jose. He is also survived by numerous relatives in California and Georgia. Graveside services were held Saturday, Nov. 27, in Blue Ridge. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to the Peachtree Christian Hospice at 3430 Duluth Park Lane, Duluth, Ga. 30096.
