Tim Miller. July 8, 1972 - March 5, 2008
Donate to the Tim Miller Memorial Fund
If you knew Tim you loved him. He was an amazing person who affected us all in dramatic ways.
Many people keep asking where they can pay respects to Tim.
Currently he is cremated and in a double urn with his father at his brother's house. Our goal is to raise $650 for a memorial bench near the Julian Dubuque Monument, so people can go to a positive place in remembrance of Tim.
In the event that we raise more money than needed for the bench, we will donate all additional funds to the Dubuque Free Preeschool program to aid in teaching rhythm, music appreciation, self expression and much more.
You can donate online using Paypal or any credit card. The online donations will be collected by Tim's friend and former bandmate, Nick Kraska.
To find out where to mail a donation by check or money order, or if you have any questions, contact Tim's sister Melanie at melmiller29@hotmail.com.

Timothy Miller
Timothy Miller, 35, of Dubuque, died Wednesday, March 5, 2008, at his home in Dubuque.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 8, at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, 1199 Main St. Friends may call from 3 to 8 p.m. today at Hoffmann Schneider & Kitchen Funeral Home, 3860 Asbury Rd.
He was born on July 8, 1972, in Dubuque, son of Franklin Sr. and Marie (Adams) Miller Reed. He attended Dubuque Senior High School and graduated in 1990 from Dubuque Central High School.
Tim was employed at the Carnegie Stout Public Library from age 16 until the summer of 2007. He recently was employed at the Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino as a cage supervisor.
Tim was a talented self- taught guitarist and drummer. He loved music and played with Ng Kindheit band for some time. He played his music strictly for enjoyment. He was a voracious reader of all kinds of books.
He enjoyed fishing and target shooting, but his love of animals kept him from hunting. Tim had many exotic pets over the years, including tarantulas, snakes and a monitor lizard. He was anything but ordinary and his choice of pets reflected that. He also enjoyed gourmet cooking, and his special dish was Greek seasoned pork loin.
Tim always was ahead of the curve and was extremely intelligent. He will be remembered for his generosity of spirit, his curiosity and his deep love for his family.
Surviving are his mother and stepfather, Marie and Gordon Reed, of Springbrook; two brothers, Franklin (Sheree) Miller, of Dubuque, and Kerry (Ann) Miller, of Waukesha, Wis.; two sisters, Melanie (Al Johnson) Miller and Marie Miller, both of Dubuque; maternal grandmother, Viola Adams, of Eagle Grove, Iowa; step grandmother, Garland Reed, of Bellevue; four nieces and nephews, Franklin (friend, Jessica) Miller III, Kristina (Michael) Sexton, Van Miller, and Raven Medina; and three great-nieces and nephews, Austin, Alex and Brady.
He was preceded in death by his father, Franklin Sr., in 2004; a brother, Martin in 1973; his paternal grandparents; and his maternal grandfather.
A Timothy Miller Memorial Fund has been established.
