Obituary
CROSS PLAINS - James G. “Jim” Miller, age 59, of Cross Plains, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023, at his home, surrounded by his four children. He was born on March 21, 1964, in Zion, Ill., the son of James “Sunny” Miller and Ruth (Rogers) Cross.
Jim graduated from Southland High School in Cardwell, Mo. He married Lynn on Sept. 18, 1982. He worked as a foreman for Olson Toon Landscaping for 32 years. He had an incredible work ethic, was a talented landscaper, enjoyed working with his hands (he could fix just about anything) and building things. He was a caring man who would drop everything to help someone out and give you the shirt off of his back.
Jim loved listening to classic rock, playing poker, dancing (even had some of his own signature moves), going on drives, watching action movies, being outdoors and was passionate about cars and motorcycles - Harley Davidsons specifically. He had a great sense of humor, even during the toughest times he was quick with a joke. One of his favorite things was spending time with family and friends. He adored his 2 grandchildren and was commonly known as the "favorite uncle" amongst his nieces and nephews.
Jim is survived by his daughter, LaRhonda (Mike) Fiore; sons, Jimmy (Chelsea) Miller, Devin Miller and Kevin Miller; grandchildren, James Miller and Amelia Miller; mother, Ruth; sisters, Candy Goodman, Teresa Carmichael, Tina Hoyer and Crystal Wever; brothers, Ed Thomas, Aaron Cross and Rex Miller; and many other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, James; wife, Lynn Miller; and brother, Brandy Cross.
