I have been in contact with the family and can confirm his birth year (1945) and that he is still alive (as of last year).
Jesse Miller was one of a legion of authors first published by the late Ben Bova. He was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer (renamed the Astounding Award) for his first published science fiction story “Pigeon City” (1972). He lost to Spider Robinson and Lisa Tuttle.

Jack Gaughan crafted some lovely cover art illustrating Jesse Miller's “Catalyst Run” for the May 1974 issue of Analog Science Fiction, ed. Ben Bova.
