Patrick "Pat" Miller

Patrick "Pat" William Miller, age 67, of Lake Wales, FL and formerly of Boyceville, WI, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 18, 2025.

Pat was born to William and Arnette (Snyder) Miller on March 17, 1958 in Minneapolis, MN. When he was a child, he and his family moved to Boyceville, WI where he attended school. He enjoyed playing sports as a child, and lettered in football in high school. While in high school, he worked on a dairy farm and in auto body repairs-which was fitting for his love of classic cars and also love for his motorcycle. Pat graduated from Boyceville High School in 1976.

In 1978, Pat escaped the cold winters that he hated to live in the warm climate of Florida. A few years later, he married Nickie and they had a daughter, Britni. Pat and Nickie later divorced. After moving to Florida, Pat became self-employed in the tool business, which he retired from at the age of 55.

Pat continued his love and admiration for classic cars and his motorcycles throughout his life. He also enjoyed boating. Every few years, Pat would return to Wisconsin to visit his family and friends-and although he always spoke about deer hunting and snowmobiling, he never made the cold winter visits to do those things. Pat was a generous, caring, polite and respectful person who will be remembered for his sense of humor and great laugh.

Pat was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Michael and Dennis; and half-sister, Gretchen Sturgelski. He is survived by his daughter, Britni Miller and her mother, Nickie Poley; brother, Tim (Connie) Miller; honorary brothers, Louie (Josie) and Bob Ludovico; honorary mother, Audrey "ma" Ludovico; many nieces and nephews; and other loving friends and family.
