Timmy Miller (12-16-22) service 12-19-22

Timmy David Miller, 47, of Adamsville, passed away on Friday, Dec.16, from complications after having the flu in the week prior. Born in Corinth, Mississippi, he is the son of Bennie and Sue (Berry) Miller. He was the loving and devoted partner to Sherry Heaton.

From the time he was born he was a big personality and a joy to be around. Being his parents’ first and only child- he was the apple of his Mama Sue’s eye. And he was the perfect little fella to learn all about hunting, horses and the outdoors from his Daddy. He grew up next door to his Granny Mollie and lived just a stone’s throw from some special cousins. From the time he could walk, he was romping that homeplace on three-wheelers and horses, cap-guns a’blazin’. If there was a rule ever set, he loved to see if he could bend it. But somehow it would end up being a big ole time that usually involved a story and a lot of laughs.

Mr. Miller graduated from Adamsville High School in 1993. That big personality not only made him a favorite among his classmates but he made friends in school that he still spoke to daily even decades later. Aside from his love of horses and hunting, he also picked up welding from his Daddy. He was an excellent welder, but would tell you very quickly that he’d rather be duck hunting.

Along his journey, he met Sherry and in one another they found a partner. They had some good times and made some wonderful memories together. He had a special relationship with Sherry’s children, Tyler, Trisha and Whisper. And Sherry’s grandchildren, Whitley Grace and DayLyn, who lovingly referred to him as “TT.”

He rode horses and made lots of memories with lots of friends. He stomped the creeks and collected arrowheads. But the greatest collection he ever managed, was a big group of family and friends that will always have some big story about Tim, Timmy or “Miller”. He will be greatly missed, but will never be forgotten. It would be his wish that you remember the biggest, grandest story of him and tell it every chance you get.

He is survived by his parents, Ben and Sue Miller of Adamsville; partner, Sherry Heaton of Adamsville; aunts and uncles, Jim Miller (Deborah) of New York, Florida, Joe Berry (Judy) of Bolivar, Tennessee, James Berry (Dora) of Middleton, Tennessee; cousins, Charlene Caraway, Keith Rose, Kristi Sweat Kimbley, Tom Berry and Annette Berry Shiver; and an abundance of close friends.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Mollie Miller; maternal grandparents, R.G and Lillie Mae Berry.

Memorial services were held on Monday, Dec. 19, at Shackelford Funeral Directors of Adamsville. Burial followed at Crump cemetery in Crump.
