Jerry Don Miller, age 70, the son of John A. and Zelma L. (Turner) Miller, was born in Wichita, Kansas December 21, 1935. He departed this life August 2, 2006 at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.
Jerry lived in the Kansas City, Missouri area until age six, moving briefly to Baraboo, Wisconsin, then to Liberty, Missouri, where he grew up working on a farm just outside of town. Following graduation from Liberty High School Jerry attended Stevenson Automotive School in Kansas City, Missouri. He moved to Gladstone, Missouri before settling in Appleton City, Missouri in 1968. Mr. Miller had served as a volunteer on the Gladstone and Appleton City Fire Department.
On September 30, 1972 Jerry and Kathryn C. Meyers were united in marriage at the First Christian Church in Appleton City, Missouri and to this union two sons were born. Jerry was employed as a mechanic at Barrows Chevrolet, later working for the Appleton City Water Department and finally he worked for Tracker Boats until his health failed. Jerry was a true family man lovingly caring for his wife and family throughout his life. He had been an Eagle Scout while growing up and he carried those values into his everyday life. Jerry was a member of the First Christian Church in Appleton City and served there as a deacon. He enjoyed gardening and was an avid camper and fisherman.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include his wife, Kathy of the home; his two sons, Chris Miller and wife Kelly of Belton, Missouri and Tim Miller of Grandview, Missouri; one sister, Sue and husband Larry Letzig; one grandson, Wyatt Miller; and one niece, Amy Letzig of Richmond, Virginia.
