Jimmy "Jim" E. Miller

We unexpectedly lost a patient, mellow, loving husband and father on January 25, 2025. Jimmy “Jim” Miller was born on February 15, 1957. He graduated from Winterset High School in 1975 and married classmate Laurel Scholten in August 1981. In 1989 they welcomed son Luke to their family.

Jim had a talent for working with his hands and worked in construction and as a skilled machinist. Like his father Ed, repair and maintenance came naturally.

In his free time, Jim’s outdoor activities included hunting and fishing with Luke and with friends. He was also a Harley-Davidson enthusiast. Jim enjoyed watching Luke compete in Winterset sports. Additionally, Jim collected many “treasures’ to be reused, recycled, and repurposed.

Jim survived by his wife, Laurel; son, Luke; mother, Karen; siblings, Marty and Michelle (Jeremy) Knutson; aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many friends.

A gathering to celebrate Jim’s life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Iowa Theater Capital Campaign, 121 N. John Wayne Drive, Winterset, Iowa 50273 or AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport, 4002 Ash Street, DeSoto, Iowa 50069 in loving memory of Jim.
