It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James Gregory Miller, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, friend, and dedicated craftsman. James was born on March 19, 1963, in Gaylord, Michigan, and passed away peacefully at his home in Guyton, Georgia, on July 27, 2026, at the age of 63.
James, affectionately known as Jim to his family and friends, was preceded in death by his father, James J. Miller, and his younger brother, Scott Miller. He is survived by his wife, Pam; his daughter, Samantha; his mother, Gwendolyn Miller; his sister, Laura Bulson; his twin brother, Mark Miller; and his grandchildren.
A carpenter by trade, Jim dedicated 22 years of his life to Effingham County Habitat for Humanity. Through his work, he helped build homes from the ground up and remodeled existing houses for families throughout the community. He took great pride in using his skills to create safe, lasting homes and improve the lives of others. His work was more than a profession; it was a meaningful contribution to the community he called home.
Jim’s legacy can be seen not only in the many homes he helped build and restore, but also in the lives of the people he met along the way. He will be remembered as a hardworking man of integrity and kindness who was always willing to lend a helping hand.
His love for his family and friends was unwavering, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
May his family find comfort in knowing that Jim’s memory will live on in the hearts of those he loved, throughout the community he served, and in the many homes that still stand because of his dedication and skilled hands.
He will be forever remembered, deeply missed, and lovingly cherished.
A memorial service is planned for 3:00 PM, Sunday, August 9, 2026 at New Hope Christian Church, 2550 Courthouse Road Guyton, GA 31312.

Jim came to me as a massage client and then became a friend. This news definitely breaks mine and my family’s heart. He was a good man.

Mr. Jim is my Brother in Christ. He always sat in front of me and my husband John in Church. Always quiet, but a man of God. Was able to meet his twin brother, Mark as well. Thank you for your kindness, always. ❤️

Mike and I are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was my cousin and I remember anytime we had a family get-together he would always be smiling, and the first to give a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He was a great guy, with a wonderful personality and good sense of humor. Jim will be sadly missed.
