John D. Miller, age 71, of Winchester, passed away on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at his residence surrounded by his family. He was preceded in death by his parents Gervus D and Henrietta Elizabeth Murray Miller. He is survived by his devoted wife of 49 years, Anita Rushton Miller; sons Mark G. Miller of Winchester, Jeffrey J. Miller (JR) of Nashville, and Matthew H. Miller (Marie) of College Grove, TN; and grandchildren, Ben, Alyssa, Jacob, Grant, and Sidney Miller. 
An Indiana Hoosier by birth, John graduated from Purdue University receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics. He was a member and president of Pi Kappa Phi Social Fraternity. Following his graduation, he began a career in Human Resources with RCA and continued with Inland Containe Corporation, Batesville Casket Company (a division of Hillenbrand Industries), Kusan Inc., and Baptist Hospital holding VP positions. Subsequently, he also started several healthcare companies in Brentwood, TN before retiring. 
Among his various professional and personal affiliations, he was a founding member of CTSG in Brentwood, TN, President of the Purdue Club of Nashville, Board Member of Franklin Girls Ranch and Society for Human Resource Management, as well as United Way and other Community organizations. Moving to Franklin County, John served as a board member of Broadview Fire Department, was an active Tims Ford Council Member, and a member of the Winchester Cumberland Presbyterian Church. His previous professional career led him to help others in their professional careers as well. He obtained his insurance license upon retirement and provided his employees benefits and consulting initiatives for many companies throughout the Southeast Region and beyond. 
John's dedication to helping others was an inspiration to many throughout his life. He gave of himself without hesitation and his love for family and friends was without boundaries. He will be missed by so many he touched.
