Johnny (John) Milliron, 51

Johnny (John) Ray Milliron, 51, of Pinehurst, Idaho, passed away Nov. 27, 2024, at Providence Sacred Heart Hospital, Spokane, Wash. John was born July 31, 1973, in Butte, Mont., a son of the late Violet Milliron. John grew up in Great Falls, Mont., before moving to the Silver Valley in the mid-1980s. John graduated from Kellogg High School in 1992 and left for a short time to see what was out there. 

John had his first job at the age of 15 for job corp. He found work at a cannery in Anchorage, Alaska, and spent a little time in Arizona as well before returning to what he called home. He then began work at Pinehurst RV from 1995 to 2008 when they closed and had a week off before he started his last job at F+H Mine Supply rebuilding mining drill until his passing.

John married the love of his life, Jolene, in August of 1996 and they had their one and only daughter in November of 2003, who was his everything. John was a hard-working family man that always made sure his family had what was needed right up to his last hours with us. 

John had a huge heart and the best attitude toward life no matter the circumstances. He pushed through what was thrown his way. John enjoyed a nice cold beer on any given day, a good drive in the mountains, fishing, camping, hunting with little luck, ATV rides, shop conversations with good friends, gun shooting, games of rummy or monopoly, and he loved to flip people crap and was always up for a good laugh. 

John is survived by his wife, Jolene, and daughter Alyssa at the family home; his father-in-law, Terry Spoor, and brother-in-law Jason Spoor of Kellogg; his sister, Dolly Ann, and brother Waylon; his nephews and niece (Nick, Ashley, Avery, Oshay and Patrick); along with numerous aunts and uncles. John is preceded in death by his mother, Violet Milliron.
