Michael "Mike" Anthony Miller

Michael “Mike” Anthony Miller, 58, was born September 2, 1963, in Des Moines, Iowa to Francis and Eileen Miller. He passed away on Friday, February 25, 2022, surrounded by family in his home.

Mike was a proud husband, son, brother, father, and the best papa. He was determined to be present and live life to its fullest while always enjoying the simple things. He had an infectious laugh and a contagious smile that lit up any room. Mike was a talented baseball player who instilled a love for the game through his children and coaching. He enjoyed time at the lake, practicing craftsmanship, a good beer, and helping others. Mike shared his faith by partaking in adoration for 15 years and was a faithful member of Christ the King Catholic Church.

Mike fought cancer for nearly a decade but never let it slow him down.

His light is still so bright, and will continue to shine through his loving wife, Janelle; children, Erika (James) O’Connor, Amanda Miller, Michael (Kelcee) Miller, Alexis (Zach) Cooper, and Andrea Miller; step-children, Nick Ochoa and Morgan Ochoa; siblings, Francis “Bud” (Rachel) Miller, Chris (Kim) Miller, Pat (Kristi) Miller, Monica (Mike) Roland, Sheila (Steve) McGoldrick, Sarah (Marty) Dudley, and David (Andrea) Miller; grandchildren, Mick Miller, Jett Miller, Callan Cooper, and Ayla Cooper; and a host of loving relatives and many special friends.

Mike was preceded in death by his grandparents.

The family will greet friends from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 3, 2022, with a Rosary service at 7:30 p.m. at Christ the King Catholic Church. Mass of Christian burial will be held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, March 4, 2022, also at the church. Mike will be laid to rest at Sunset Memorial Gardens Cemetery following the Mass.
