Christopher E. Miller, 38
June 28, 2021
A loving father, husband, son, and friend, Christopher E. Miller, 38 of Willow Street, PA passed away unexpectedly on June 28, 2021. He is the son of John “Jack” Miller and Deborah Miller. He was the husband to Toni Miller for over 5 years, and the father to Austin and Alaina Miller.
Chris graduated from Lampeter Strasburg High School and eventually went to YTI where he obtained a diploma in motorcycle repair. Chris thoroughly enjoyed his current job as a truck driver for Gro-Mor Plant Food Company. He was also very active in the fire service, volunteering as a firefighter and EMT for his local community. A jack of all trades, Chris was your go-to guy and would do anything for anybody.
Chris’s sense of humor and sarcastic personality will never be forgotten. He adored spending time with his 2 children, going fishing, hunting, and definitely cutting the grass. He was a master BBQ smoker and was passionate about whatever he set his mind on. Chris also enjoyed riding his motorcycle and making sure his truck was pristine.
Along with his parents Jack and Deb, wife Toni, and 2 children, Chris is survived by 5 siblings: John Miller (Virginia), Bryan Sheaffer, Missy Saam, Shawn Miller (Angie), and Joe Sheaffer (Nicole). He is survived by his mother-in-law Regina Rice, as well as 10 beloved nieces and nephews. Chris is also survived by his support dog, Nasira, who will miss him greatly. He was predeceased by his sister Jennifer Emerich.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 5PM at the Millersville VFW Post 7294, 219 Walnut Hill Rd, Millersville, PA 17551, on Friday, July 9. Please come as you are, no formal attire. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Chris’s name to the Building Bridges Foundation at Anderson Farm, 230 Indian Hill Rd., Conestoga, PA 17516.

Thoughts, love and prayers covering you and your children Toni in days of grief, life steps and reflections. Chris was known here at Building Bridges Foundation at Anderson Farm for who he was as an individual and by his beautiful family and dog as they brought grace and happy smiles to the horses that met them at the fence gates; Chris naturally encouraged us in our mission. He quietly invested energy and skill in the renovation of space for the Veterans Cafe and the second level of the barn even on cold winter days. He leaned into the present with understanding he was making a difference in the community and establishing a better future in this corner of the world. As always Toni, our best regards toward you and Jack and Deb. Chris was blessed to have the very best of all of you. May God hold you all tight and prove Himself to you in new and gentle ways. We journey with you as many friends and family that value and care about you.

(For others who might be reading this, Jack and I served together in Vietnam. A few of us who also served with Jack stay in contact. Jack has hosted 3 reunions for the group over the years. I do not know any finer people than Jack and Deb.) To: Jack and Deb…The other members of our group , from TN, FL,MA.WI,AL,IN and others, wanted me to send our heartfelt support during this time of grief. We have no words to say to you that will lessen this pain – I wish we did. All of us have lost mutual friends before, but nothing like this. We try to put ourselves in your shoes, and cannot imagine the sense of loss you must feel. Please draw some comfort and strength from knowing that your brothers in arms feel your sorrow. We hope to see you in Richmond in a few months.

Chris, my loving son you have left us way too soon. There is so much more that we could have accomplished together. Now those opportunities are gone. I will have to continue on without you, but you will always be in my heart until the day I die and are able to join you once again. I hope that my Mom and Dad met you when you got to Heaven and along with Nan and Pap Wilburn were there to meet you. I am sure that my brothers Barry, Terry, Herb and Scot along with My sister Jackie and your sister Jennie were there to greet you also. All I can say is Rest In Peace my son you are now with GOD.
