Jacob Miller Obituary

Age 46, after a courageous battle with cancer he passed away peacefully on August 3, 2024 surrounded by family and friends. He lived life to the fullest until the end. He was born February 10, 1978 in Pittsburgh, PA. Beloved son of Sharon Happe and the late Michael Miller. Father of Brianna Nicole Miller. Grandson of the late Jacob and Rose Miller and Charles and Betty Jean Conley. Loving nephew of Kathleen (Ed) Poljak, Christopher (Lynne) Miller, Cheryl (Joe) Knerr, Sandra (Michael) Kagan and the late Charles (survived by Kathleen) Conley, Lorraine White and Sean Patrick Conley. Survived by cousins Lauren Conley, Michael Kagan, Dana (Frankie) Demino, Sandy Kagan, Sean Conley, Charles Conley, Stevie Ray Conley, Ed (Jill) Poljak, Craig (Courtney) Poljak, Zachary Miller and the late George Zeitlman.

Friends are one of the greatest treasures in life and Jake had many.

Jake was an avid outdoorsman whose passion was hunting, trapping, camping, boating and fishing. He loved food and enjoyed cooking. No matter where he was, he knew the best places to eat. He was a proud member of Plumbers Local Union 27. He was the Founder of the PA Youth Trapping Contest.

There are no words to describe our loss. Thankfully, our memories are numerous.

Family and friends received on Tuesday and Wednesday from 2-4 and 6-8 PM in Thomas J. Gmiter Funeral Home, 2323 E. Carson St., where a prayer service will be held Wednesday evening at 8:00 PM.
