Rellim James Miller III

Rellim James (Jimmy) Miller III, 31, died Wednesday, October 22, 2003. Jimmy was born in Houston, Texas on February 12, 1972 to Rellim James Miller Jr. and Margery Clarkson Miller.

Jimmy graduated from Bellaire High School in 1990, and received his Associate Degree in Automotive Technology from San Jacinto College in 1992.

Jimmy loved being with family and friends, working on vintage Ford Mustangs, and fishing or Dove hunting. He was a loving and involved husband and father who helped others in any capacity he could. Jimmy was especially good at making those around him laugh with a quick witty comment and contagious smile.
