Jacob Miller Obituary

Jacob "Jake" Thomas Miller Born November 22, 1987, Burlingame. Passed away February 9, 2008, Chico. Survived by parents, Eric and Mary Jeanne Miller; brother, Drew; sister, Amy (Andrew) Micheletti; grandparents, Joe and Anne Schram; uncles, Chris (Diane) and Cam (Nancy) Miller, Jay and Tom Schram; aunts, Cindy (Carl) Moore, Libby Schram, Susie (Steve) Gendel; many cousins, nieces, nephews & friends. Preceded in death by brother, Gregory Miller. Jake grew up in San Bruno, was a graduate of St. Robert School and St. Francis High School, and was attending Butte College, Chico. Everything that can be said about Jake is positive and special. He was sweet, caring, loving, unselfish, and beautiful inside and out. Some of his passions and loves were his family, friends, dogs, baseball, hunting and fishing, wake-and snow-boarding, and RC planes, helicopters, and cars. The smile on Jake's face was there for everyone, every time. It became what he was best known for. And with this smile came Jake: a best friend - THE best friend - loyal, reliable, and loving. Visitation 9:45 am, Saturday, February 16, followed by Funeral Mass at 10:30, at St. Robert Catholic Church, 1380 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to: The Jacob Miller Memorial Fund Account # 060061529 1st National Bank, Millbrae or Peninsula Humane Society.

Miller family,
I played summer of 2006 Joe Dimaggio baseball with Jake on San Bruno and enjoyed getting to know him. The both of us talked about going for a ride on the bikes to woodside as soon as I get my license. A year later and I finally got it. We had a fun summer playing ball and my thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow in the loss of your son Jake. What a beautiful picture, beautiful smile.
My son and Jake were friends . . .

You have my deepest sympathy,
but i know your grief goes beyond
what words can express.

There's nothing anyone can say,
or do to heal your broken heart
or take away your pain.

Let God take you in His arms
and cover you with His love.
He knows the depth of your grief
and only He can give you peace.

He knows it will take time
for your heart to heal, and
your loved one has a place
that no one else can fill.

If there's any comfort, know that
your son Jake is with Jesus,

There are no tears in Heaven,
no more heartache and no pain,
only love and happiness.
Take care of yourselves.
