Jared Miller, a sergeant with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, died Thursday from Covid-related complications.

Miller, 41, was employed at the sheriff’s office since 2005, where he worked as a corrections deputy, field training officer, survival skills instructor and negotiator on the SWAT team, according to a Friday news release.

Miller was promoted to sergeant in 2019 and, at the time of his death, was a supervisor at the Marion County Jail.

He is survived by his wife Jolene.

The sheriff’s office said in the news release that it will announce a memorial service for Miller at a later date. “We appreciate the support from our community during this difficult time and respect for the privacy of the family as they grieve the loss of their loved one,” the news release said.
