Blake W. Miller
Native son of Kinnakeet, Blake Wesley Miller suddenly departed this life on Friday, July 21, 2023 at the family home in Camden, NC at the age of 28. Blake was the only child of his mother, Jettie Miller and John B. Miller, Jr. (deceased) and the grandson of paternal grandmother, Nita Miller all of Avon, NC. He is also survived by his aunt, Teresa Midgett (Barry). Blake was preceded in death by his father, John B. Miller, Jr.; his cousin, Justin Yopp; and his grandparents, Harry Gaskill, Inez Gaskill, and John B. Miller, Sr. Blake was movie star- handsome, musically and vocally gifted, gentle natured, intelligent, loved animals, and aspired to serve his fellow man as a firefighter or a paramedic.
The hearts and spirits of Jettie, Nita, and the Miller family are shattered and devastated to share this sad news. Blake’s funeral will be held 11am, Saturday, July 29, 2023 at St. John United Methodist Church in Avon. The burial will be private. Gallop Funeral Services was entrusted with arrangements.

We love you Jettie and Nita. Blake was such a wonderful Yong man. My heart is broken. Just call me if I can do anything for you.
Words can’t express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I will never forget all the fun times Blake and Zach shared. He always made me smile and was always kind and considerate. From a small boy to a young man he could make me laugh! He will be missed by many.
I am so sorry

May Jesus comfort all the family. Blake was a wonderful young man and made quite an impression on me and my husband. Praying for all those left behind.
Jettie, I can't stop thinking about you and what you are going through, I didn't know that you moved to Camden. I wish we would cross paths again soon. I am totally heartbroken about Blake. He was such a very special and talented young man. I remember the day you brought him home from the hospital.
Jettie and Nita, Roger and I are so very saddened to learn of Blake's passing. Although our life in Avon was a brief 5 years and we've been gone for 10 years now, there are certain special people that we have been so blessed to know. Words just aren't adequate to let you know how sorry we are as we cannot imagine your pain and grief. Please know we care and love you.
Our hearts are broken, he was dearly loved by me,Cam and Christa. He had a love and commitment to his family that is rare in this time. I have written and deleted this multiple times, there are no words to describe what we are all feeling. Our condolences to the family, the world is less wonderful without Blake in it.
Jettie and Nita, I am shocked hearing of Blake's passing. I am praying for peace and comfort for you both and offer my heartfelt condolences.

Blake, I cannot believe I’m reading this. Seems like yesterday we were at beach retreat and having fun with Pastor Susie. I love you brother! I hope and pray for peace during this time of transition!
Jettie, my heart goes out to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are for your comfort and strength. May God Bless and Comfort You.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Jettie. Blake was a great young man. He had a bright future ahead. We never why, or understand why God called Blake, to Heaven. We have to keep him close to our heart knowing that God has him and he's safe. Life is short, and we should never take it for granted! If you ever need someone to talk to on the phone, Jettie, call me. I'm always one phone call away! God Bless You Jettie! Michael Clayton
