Lucas Miller Obituary
Lucas M. Miller, 33, of West Lawn, passed away May 29, 2016 in the Peninsula Regional Medical Center, Salisbury, Md. He was the husband of Rebecca M. (Wentzel) Miller. Born in Reading, he was a son and step-son of Merlin A. Miller, husband of Tracey G., and a son of Marian (Peron) Miller.
Lucas was a graduate of Schuylkill Valley High School in 2001, where he played baseball and basketball.
He was a member of St. Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, Reading.
Lucas was employed as a truck driver for Yeager Supply for 10 years.
Lucas loved everyone, liked pizza and wore flip-flops all year round, except when he was running. He enjoyed listening to 93.3 WMMR with Preston and Steve in the mornings. He loved racing, especially motorcycles, biking and jogging. He regularly watched televised races. Even as a child, he enjoyed watching NASCAR's Davey Allison. He would only drive Fords.
Lucas was adored by all his family and friends.
In addition to his wife and parents, Lucas is survived by his daughter, Lucille Laverne Miller, at home; and one step-son, Spencer R. Essick, at home; his dog, Indy; one brother, Justin A. Miller, husband of Jennifer, of Leesport, and their children, Caleb A., Ryland L. and Oliva C.; three step-brothers: Tyler, Connor and Robbie; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was predeceased by his grandparents: Ray C. and Mary Miller; and Stephen and Helen Peron.
Lucas adored his children with such passion. He was so connected to them and took them everywhere in his travels. He taught Lucy to ride a two-wheel bike with no training wheels at 4 years old. He was dedicated to attending all of Spencer's sporting events and extracurricular activities. They were his breath in life and now he will watch over them from heaven the rest of their lives.
The family will receive friends from 1:00-4:00 p.m., with services beginning at 4:00 p.m., on Friday, June 3, 2016 in the Lutz Funeral Home, Inc., 2100 Perkiomen Ave., Reading, PA 19606. Interment private in Leesport Cemetery.

It was a blessing to see Lucas' eyes light up when he picked up Lucy from the babysitter at the end of the day. It was a joy to watch him play in the yard with Spencer, Lucy & Indy. Now his spirit and love will shine through their eyes as it lives on in each of their hearts forever.

We'll never understand why a dad was so tragically taken from his little girl, how it's not fair he won't be here physically to see all of her accomplishments in life and watch her grow. Why does a parent have to go through the experience of burying their son?
To the Miller Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We pray for peace during this horrible tragedy. May you find comfort in this time of heartache and surround yourself with friends and family that have nothing but love and great memories. We pray that your little girl always know how much her daddy loved her and how proud he was of her. If you need anything at all please know that us co-workers here at Yeager Supply are here for you. RIP Lucas
