Pat really loved and cared about his nieces and nephews. He always had time for them and enjoyed harassing them, and they all enjoyed harassing him. Pat worked in the concrete construction field. He started with Jim Ray Construction of Baroda and worked with M & S Concrete of Benton Harbor the last eleven years. Pat was very smart and efficient in his trade. He enjoyed the job and always had fun with the people and friends he made in the trade. It was a tough job, and he was up to the task and worked hard at it. Pat leaves behind his parents; two brothers, George (Dozer) Miller of Phoenix, AZ, and Mike (Becky) Miller of Baroda; six sisters, Julie Pascua of St. Joseph, Dee Dee (Charles) Jackson of Menominee, MI, Cheri Miller of Stevensville, MI, Lisa (Richard) Halliday of Benton Harbor, Jenny Miller of Miami, FL, Vicki Richardson of Baroda, MI; grandmother, Frances Geary of Stevensville; nieces and nephews, Amber and Nicholas Miller, Abby and Molly Jackson, Ricky and Lily Halliday, Tyler and Sophie Richardson, Tazi, Betti and Ilika Pascua, Ryan and Nikki Tyler, Autumn and Noah Bell and Zeke Koch; many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and acquaintances who will miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, George and Louise Miller, Joseph Geary, Sr., and uncle, David Miller. Pat had a great sense of humor and was a good golf partner and friend. You knew where you stood with Pat, and the truth is what you got. He will be sorely missed by everyone, especially, by his nieces and nephews who at every occasion would always ask, “Where’s Uncle Pat?” God Bless you, Pat. We all love you and miss you.
