Verlyn C. Miller, age 77, of Early, Iowa, passed away Thursday, April 14, 2011, at the Buena Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake, Iowa.

Verlyn Clarence was born August 21, 1933, to Clarence and Edna (Christiansen) Miller in Early. Growing up, he was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Church. He attended school in Early and graduated with the class of 1951.

On June 27, 1965, he married Ruth James at Faith Lutheran Church in Early. Together they raised six children: Dennis, Gary, Gloria, Dave, Michelle and Mark.

Verlyn worked as a plumber and electrician for many years. He was a volunteer fireman in Early and was an all around handy man. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially spending time fishing, trapping and hunting. He often went to sales and auctions and had a great knowledge of antique cars. Verlyn spent much of his free time fixing odds and ends and completing crossword puzzles. He cherished his dog, Tippy, who was a great companion for him. Verlyn, however, especially treasured spending time with his family and creating memories with them. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
