He was born to Master Sargent Darrel and Phyllis Miller in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

He leaves behind a legacy of jokes, laughter, and an undeniable presence that will be greatly missed among family and friends. He was known best as “John the Painter” as he made his name as a successful painter in the Northwest Arkansas area. He could be seen at any given time in either all white painters garb or typically his all black biker attire. John left a lasting impression on all those he came across and was sure to put a smile on your face and a laugh in your heart. The world will not be the same without his charismatic soul.
