Lex was a member of Faith Lutheran Church and was a farmer, teacher, coach, husband, father, and friend. His greatest role was "Papa" and he loved his grandchildren more than anything.

Miller (Jeff); six grandchildren, Leo William Arnold, Bishop Boozer Sims, Jacob Ward Miller, Mason Lane Miller, McKenna Jane Miller and Gracyn Rose Miller. He is also survived by his sister, Brenda B. McCarty; along with several nieces, nephews, and extended family members. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Lenda B. Edwards, Happy W. Boozer, William "Bill" A. Boozer, Jr., and Max. G. Boozer.

The family will host a drop-in for Coach Boozer from 3 P.M. until 6 P.M. on Saturday, May 18th at Faith Lutheran Church of Batesburg. Milton Shealy Funeral Home is assisting the family.
