Jauhn Miller, also known as Bubba and Slim to many, was welcomed by his parents, the late James Ivan Miller and Kathy Christian of Bernie, Missouri, on March 2, 1974, in Sturgis, Michigan and had fifty years on this earth before his heavenly Father called him home on December 5, 2024.
Jauhn worked at Walmart for sixteen years before he became disabled. He was an avid gun collector and outdoorsmen, including hunting, fishing, camping and hiking. He loved having the wind rush over his bald head while riding on his motorcycle, which he said was a peaceful time. He was a MOPAR/Dodge man through and through and back in his day loved building and racing his cars. His ultimate love was the love for his family and friends. Especially his spoiled dog Dixie. He was so loved and will be greatly missed by his parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Other than his mother and stepfather, Kathy and Vernon Christian, he is survived by his five siblings, Shannon Cobb and husband Billy of Bernie, Missouri (whom he lived with), Allen Christian and wife Anna of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Adam Christian and wife Nicole of Princeton, Missouri, Betty Jo Franks of Michigan and Amy Potts-Summey and husband John of Michigan.
He was so excited when Xavier and Athena gave him the official title of Uncle Bubba even though he carries that title for many other nieces and nephews that he loved dearly. In his final days on this earth, one of his biggest joys and reasons to fight was to see his sweet great-niece, Oakleigh Baker.
A memorial service will be held Friday December 13, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. at the Vision of Hope Church in Essex, Missouri with Jeff Clark and Norman Cole officiating.
