John A. Miller Jr., passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at his home. He was 44 years old.
Mr. Miller was born in Wilkes-Barre, March 28, 1979. He attended Kistler Elementary and graduated from E.L. Meyers High School, Class of 1997, and Harris Computer Institute.
John loved to drive and earned a living at various businesses ending with STA for Wilkes-Barre Area School District and finally with G. Davis, Inc., for the Dallas School District. He really cared about the safety and well-being of the children entrusted to him. He also had a special place in his heart for elderly people and vulnerable animals.
John loved photography, hiking, mountain biking, motorcycle riding with his dad and enjoying nature's beauty in general. He had a real passion for history, geography, foreign languages and religion.
A visitation and memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday in Firwood United Methodist Church, 399 Old River Road, South Wilkes-Barre. The Rev. Craig Gommer will be officiating.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution in John's memory to your favorite animal no-kill shelter. That would mean a lot to us. He will be loved and truly missed by all of us who knew him well.
Rest in peace, Son!

We remember Miller with great fondness at Cloister Creek. John and I were houseparents.
We were sorry to hear he had passed. We lost our Debbie to cancer in January, 2020.

I was truly devastated to hear about your untimely departure. Your passion for nature and your deep appreciation for Eastern philosophy illuminated your spirit and left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing you. Your presence in this world was a gift, and the void left by your absence is immeasurable.
Your love for nature was contagious, and your understanding of Eastern philosophy brought wisdom and tranquility to those around you. The beauty of the natural world will forever echo your essence, and the teachings of Eastern philosophy will continue to inspire us in your honor.
Though you may have left us too soon, your memory will remain etched in our hearts forever. May you find peace in the eternal embrace of nature, and may your spirit soar freely among the vastness of the universe. You will be deeply missed, dear friend.
