James Blaine Miller, Jr.
James “Jim” Blaine Miller, Jr., passed away peacefully at home in Ponder on Sunday, December 6, 2015, after a 14-month battle with Biliary Cancer. He was born on October 22, 1955, in Detroit, MI, to Betty Jo and James Blaine Miller, Sr. His father proceded him in death. Jim is survived by his loving wife of 12 years, Janet Lee Miller, his son, James Blaine Miller III, his mother, Betty Jo Robinson, his sister, Deborah Creasy Dirickson, his brothers, David and Danny Creasy, and many nieces, nephews, and a host of extended family and loving friends. Jim was raised in Limestone, Tennessee, on his families’ homestead which was never far from his mind or heart. He entered the US Army in 1982 and separated honorably 10 years later in 1992. He proceeded to enlist in the US Air Nat’l Guard and served 8 years for a total of 18 years of service to our country. He served with distinction, pride, and honor. Jim and Janet met in 2000 and become fast friends and quickly realized they were soul mates. They married on August 8, 2003, in Fairbanks, Alaska. Jim was an avid fisherman, sports gunman, and craftsman. He loved to wood work and was a lover of stray animals, especially cats, of which he rescued every chance he got. At the time of his death they would not leave his side. He leaves behind, Gazelle, 12, Cricket, 8, Sampson, 7, and Smokey, 2. In later years, Jim entered the security industry and quickly climbed the ranks to become site supervisor over 27 guards at a 5000-person facility, all of whom loved and respected him dearly because of his good-natured attitude, fairness, work ethic, and genuine love for people. When asked how his day was going his classic response was, “Always Good”. But above all, Jim loved the Lord and never passed up a chance to pray over and share the love of Jesus Christ with all those who would listen. I have no doubt that the crown of glory he earned is so big that he has already laid it at the feet of Jesus. Jim will be deeply missed by all who knew him an encountered him, even so briefly. In lieu of flowers please prayerfully donate to “Jim’s Celebration of Life” on Crowdrise at: https://www.crowdrise.com/jimscelebrationofliv/fundraiser/janetmiller2 to assist with final expenses to ease the financial and emotional burden of the family.
