With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Adrian James Miller, a beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, and friend who left us far too soon. Adrian passed away on October 4, 2026, in Afton, Wyoming, where he had most recently made his home. He was 26 years old.

Adrian was born on November 15, 1999, in Blackfoot, Idaho. He spent his early years in Blackfoot with his mother before moving to Rock Springs, Wyoming, with his father.

Adrian shared a special bond with each of his parents. His mother was a source of love and comfort, someone he could turn to when he needed her most. She was there for him through life’s challenges, and he always held a special place in her heart. With his father, Adrian shared the everyday companionship of working side by side. They were so much alike, sharing a sense of humor that brought laughter to their days and made their bond even more special. Their days together created precious memories his dad will carry with him always. Both parents will miss their son more than words can express.

Adrian was a gentle soul with a special love for animals. His beloved husky, Blue, was a gift from his grandmother, Nelda, and became a treasured companion. He loved taking Blue swimming and spending time outdoors with him.

He found happiness in music, family time, working alongside his dad, and evenings gathered around bonfires. These simple joys were a cherished part of his life and are among the moments those who loved him will remember most tenderly.

Adrian leaves behind his loving mother, Marina Ventura, and his father, James Richard Miller; his brothers, Anthony James Miller and Damion Miller; his sister-in-law, Taylor Miller; and his only nephew, Ash Michael Miller. He is also survived by his paternal grandparents, Bruce Miller and Jan Miller; his maternal grandparents, Nelda Velasco and Antonio Velasco; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved him deeply. He also leaves behind his beloved dog, Blue.

He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Beverly Gough and Dick Gough.

There should have been more time—more family gatherings, more music, more evenings around the fire, and more days with Blue by his side. Though Adrian’s life was far too short, he gave his family memories and love that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

Adrian, you were deeply loved. You will be missed beyond words and held in our hearts always.
