Michael L. Miller

Michael L. “Mike” Miller, age 48, of Marysville, passed away on Friday, July 9, 2021, unexpectedly of a heart attack doing what he loved on his farm north of Waterville. 

Mike was born on February 9, 1973, at Marysville, to Melvyn L. and Roseann E. Miller. 

He worked as a welder for Landoll’s in Marysville. He married Kelly D. Wells on April 28, 2012, at Marysville. 

Mike is a member of the North American Hunting Club. In 2008 he was ranked 125th in the rifle category with Buckmasters having a score of 169.  Mike loved to hunt, but also loved NASCAR and Huskers Football. You could hear him yelling clear down the street during a Husker’s game and you couldn’t find a bigger Jeff Gordon or Dale Earnhardt, Sr. fan. He loved his children and was a “great” grandfather to his grandchildren. There wasn’t much that he wouldn’t do for them, including wearing a tiara.  

Survivors include his wife Kelly, his father Melvyn and wife Arlene Miller of Greenleaf, children: Chevy Imel of Marysville, Kelsey (Joshua) Kenworthy of Blue Rapids and Emily (Brian) Bussman of Odell, brothers and sisters: Norman (Misty) Miller of Marysville, Lorie (Stacy Newman) Gentry of Pacific Junction, Iowa, Sharon (Doug) Huband of Washington, Sandra (Jay) Tidyman of Salina and Mark (Jenny) Wiemers of Manhattan, and four grandchildren. 

Preceding Mike in death were his mother Roseann, a grandson Chevy Dean Allan Imel and a brother in law Doyle Gentry.
