Mark Leroy Miller, 61, died at 12:30 p.m., Friday, December 16, 2022, at his home in Jerseyville.
He was born on January 9, 1961, at the Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Missouri, and was the son of the late Virgil and Betty (Shef) Miller.
Mark grew up as part of a military family, Mark grew up throughout various parts of the country, prior to his father’s retirement at which time the family settled in Alton.
From there, Mark resided in Florida for a period of time and has been a resident of Jerseyville for the past 31 years.
He spent his life working in the construction field, most recently with Suncon Construction in Alton where he was employed for fifteen years before his health necessitated his retirement.
He married Susan (Antrobus) Bland on August 31, 1991, in Jerseyville, and together they have shared many wonderful memories throughout their 31 years of marriage.
Mark was a talented and gifted woodworker and also enjoyed fishing and tuning into any and every wrestling match he could find on TV.
Perhaps his greatest joys in life, however, came from time spent with his friends and family, most especially his grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Mike Miller, and a sister, Cindy Walls.
