Joseph Dana Miller, aged 63 of Mecosta and formerly of Grand Rapids, passed away on December 7, 2025 at MyMichigan Medical Center in Midland.

Joe was a man defined by his industrious spirit and his infectious sense of humor. He was best known for his love of good company, a shared laugh, and a hearty plate of food. To those who knew him, Joe's legacy will be one of hard work, unwavering friendship, and a deep, abiding love for his family.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 32 years, Bessie Mae Miller (Dickson); his mother, Janet Miller (Nichoson); and his father, Elmer Miller.

Joseph is survived by his children, Jeremy Miller of Ohio and Haley Miller of Greenville, Michigan; and his devoted partner, Connie Jermanski. He will be deeply missed by his extended family and many dear friends.

A memorial service to celebrate Joseph's life will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2026 at 1:00 pm at Pine Township Hall, 7200 2nd St. Stanton, MI 48888

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to his son, Jeremy Miller, to assist with final arrangements and honors.
