My brother Jake Edward Miller passed away on July 9, 2025, at the age of 37. Memorial services will be held Wednesday, July 16, at 10 a.m. at Heitt’s LyBrand Funeral Home in Wills Point.

Jake was born in Santa Monica, CA on Oct. 8, 1987 to Bob Miller and Karen Coderre. He graduated from Edgewood High in Texas in 2005. After high school, Jake moved to Dallas where he lived out his dream of becoming the best, most handsome bartender and mixologist in the business. An avid traveler, he went to India, Thailand, and Mexico and spent a year living in Australia. Throughout his life, he lived in several states in addition to Texas, including California, Missouri, Florida, and Colorado and held many professions at which he excelled, including shoe salesman, line cook, and warehouse distributor.

Known for his humor, good looks, charisma, and style, Jake enjoyed skateboarding, attending concerts and listening to music, playing guitar, gardening and plants, working on cars and motorcycles, fishing, cooking, watching movies, being with family and friends, and meeting new people. An outgoing and tender soul, Jake lived life to the fullest, loved deeply, and cultivated a circle of die-hard friends who stayed by his side no matter the circumstances.

Funds raised will go toward his memorial service and to his parents Bob and Vicky Miller.

Rest in peace, Jake.
