James Miller Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lee-Ramsay Funeral Home - Pinconning on Mar. 11, 2026.
James "Jim" Miller, age 73, passed away comfortably and quietly on the morning of March 11, 2026, with his girls by his side, after a very short illness.

Jim, who many simply called "Miller," was humble and kind; a "love your neighbor" kind of man and the best popcorn maker around. He enjoyed anything to do with the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. His faith was central to his life. As a committed member of Pinconning Bible Baptist Church, he devoted himself to the Lord and to living out His teachings. Miller carried many titles, dad, friend, brother, and son, but his favorite was "Papa."

Miller is survived by his children, Naomi (Jonathan Sadlak) Klumpp, Harmoni (Joe) Peters, and Jereme Miller; many siblings, nieces, nephews; and a special life friend, Nancy Mazurek.

He is also survived by his beloved grandbabies who lit up his world: Gabriella (Kyle Behrmann) Craner, Caleb (Kaylee Walczak) Craner, Sonny Klumpp, Joey Peters, Hunter Peters, Ethan Miller, and Liam Miller.

Greeting him at the pearly gates are his parents, sister Jeanne, brother Tom, and son-in-law Zachary Klumpp.

A special thank you to Dr. Lynch and her staff for always taking the best care of him throughout the years. He sure did love spoiling all of you and loved you dearly.

Thank you to Standish Hospital for the loving care given to him.

Compassus, thank you kindly, earth angels.

Visitation will be held at Pinconning Bible Baptist Church on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, from 11:00am to 1:00pm, with the funeral service at 1:00pm. A luncheon will follow.
