Edward (Ted) Joseph Miller, 41, of West Des Moines, passed away Friday, September 11, 2009.
Ted was born to Richard and Doris Miller on January 30, 1968 in Iowa Falls, IA. He graduated from Iowa Falls High School in 1986 and the University of Northern Iowa in 1991 with a Bachelors degree in Accounting and Economics. He passed his CPA exam the same year.

Ted was an avid reader and terrible golfer. He skied, wrestled, played racquetball and was an Iowa Hawkeye Football Fan. But most of all, he cared for and loved deeply his wife and children. His family was most important in his life and they will miss his love and affection.
Ted is survived by his loving wife, Julie, and two wonderful children, Jessica (11), and Jacob (8). He is also survived by his mother, Doris of Iowa Falls, IA; sister, Anne (Carl) of Eldridge, IA; brothers, John (Elaine) of Des Moines and Jeff (Brenda) of West Des Moines; his mother and father-in-law, Kathy and Jerry Buresh of Iowa Falls, IA. He will be missed by his family and many friends.
Ted was preceded in death by his father, Richard E. Miller and older brother, Steven W. Miller.

I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.

I am so sorry for your family and friend loss. Ted brings to mind so many wonderful and exiting memories. Lets just say life was so much more exciting with Ted around. When I picture Ted all I can picture is that sparkle in his eye and that little smile he would give you when a good or not so good of an idea came to his head. Thanks Ted for being apart of my life and so many others.

Ted was such an influence on me in the short time we lived together. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without him and his caring and aid. My prayers are with you and your family.

Miller-Buresh Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Teds passing. Growing up he was always a great guy with a quick wit. There were several occasions in the neighborhood when Ted being older and bigger came to my rescue. I always looked up to Ted and remember our time in the wrestling room very fondly. The year he moved up 2 or 3 weights to help the team and won some big matches is still talked about today amongst his teammates.
I recently had been back in touch with Ted thanks to Facebook and we were talking about some of those days growing up.
I'm truly sorry for your familys loss. He'll be remembered fondly.

Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart and Prayers go out to you. I actually talked to Ted a number of months ago for the first time in years. He called to give his condolences regarding Bruce. He took me off guard when he first called because he identified himself as Ed Miller. Of course my first thoughts were that the only Ed Miller I knew was grandpa but then I realized who I was talking to.
These times are never easy. Thank goodness for cherished memories that will help you move through this transition.
Youre Cousin,
Shelley
