Craig Miller

Craig Richard Miller, 72, passed away surrounded by loved ones on July 8, 2025, in Succasunna, New Jersey. Born in 1953, in Nutley, New Jersey to Grace and Robert Miller, Craig grew up with four brothers who helped instill a sense of adventure in him. He lived a life marked by warmth, generosity, and a deep devotion to his family, friends, and loved ones.

Craig was a proud graduate of Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics/Computer Science as part of the Class of 1975. It was also at Susquehanna that he met his future wife, Pat, beginning a loving partnership that would span 49 years. A lifelong enthusiast of numbers, Craig found deep fulfillment in tutoring others in math, always eager to share his knowledge and help others succeed

Craig was a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He had a passion for golfing with his friends and a deep appreciation of music, which comforted him and his family in his final moments. But above all else, he cherished time spent with his family. Whether playing with his grandchildren or making memories at Sebago Lake in Maine, which held a special place in his heart-Craig's happiest moments were those shared with loved ones.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Pat (Shaughnessy) Miller; his son Christopher and wife Maria, his son Mike and wife Christine; and his daughter Stacey. He was a proud grandfather to Caroline, Nora, Audrey, Paige, and Ryan. Craig also leaves behind his brothers David and John.

He was predeceased by his parents Grace and Robert; brothers Bob and Bruce; and father-in-law Robert Shaughnessy.

Craig's natural ability to connect with people made him a treasured presence wherever he went. He had an ease about him that invited conversation and trust-traits that endeared him to many. His absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
