Miller graduated from Chugiak High School in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2007, according to his father, Nick Miller.
After moving with friends to Washington state, James Miller met his wife, Katie, while studying mechanics at Yakima Valley Community College.
In 2009, Miller joined the Army because he wanted to provide for his family, his mother said. His daughter, Peyton, was born while he was in boot camp, and he was deployed to Afghanistan about six months after enlisting.
“He was serving his country. He had three more months, and he would’ve been home. But that didn’t happen,” Kim Miller said. “They told him he would be back by the Fourth of July.”
