Jeffrey John, the son of John and Amelia (Karl) Mills, was born on October 15, 1975, in Marshalltown, Iowa. In his younger years, Jeff enjoyed hunting with his dad, fishing, riding his dirt bike, skateboarding, and participating in sports, especially baseball. Following his graduation from Marshalltown High School with the class of 1995, Jeff briefly continued his education prior to moving to Minnesota in 1998. He began working with Wipaire, Inc. and loved the opportunity to be around the aviation world. On June 4, 2010, Jeff was united in marriage to Stephanie Mack and they were blessed with two beautiful children, Riley and Andrew. He was a talented woodworker and loved building replica models. Most of all, Jeff cherished the time spent with his kids outdoors exploring nature.
