Patrick “PAT” William 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 Duluth, 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 in auto body repairs—which was fitting for his love of classic cars and motorcycles. Pat graduated from Boyceville High School in 1976.

In 1978, Pat escaped the cold winters that he disliked to live in the warm climate of Florida. A few years later, he had a daughter, Britni. After moving to Florida, Pat became self-employed in the tool business, which he retired from at the age of 50. Pat always loved the water. Before retiring, he spent every chance he could on his boat and wave runner. In retirement, he made being on the water even more constant by buying a house on a lake with a boat house.

Pat continued his love and admiration for cars and motorcycles throughout his life. He also enjoyed boating, fishing, and hunting. Pat was a generous and caring person who will be remembered for singing jingles, 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; brother, Tim (Connie) Miller; honorary brothers, Louie (Josie) Ludovico, Bob Ludovico and honorary mother (Ma Ludovico); many nieces and nephews; and other loving friends and family.

A Celebration of Life for Pat will be held on September 20, 2025 at the Boyceville Community Center from Noon to 4 p.m.
