Brett Miller

Our dear and most loved son, Brett Jason Miller, passed from this world unexpectedly on December 8, 2014 in Salt Lake City at the age of 37. He was born March 8, 1977 in Salt Lake City to Michael Cannon and Suzanne (Strong) Miller. Brett was an active, loving and gregarious young man. He was an avid cyclist and enthusiastic rock climber. His passion for cars was second-to-none and he found immense joy and solace in building, enhancing and racing many types of high performance vehicles. He had a dry, witty sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. While serving a mission for the LDS Church in Jacksonville, FL, he often found ways to incorporate humor into his daily routine, whilst doing the Lord’s work, including sending his sister an envelope full of dead crickets in lieu of a letter. Brett’s ability to connect and engage with people made him extremely successful in the sales positions he held in top local and global organizations. Brett graduated from Davis High School in Kaysville, UT and earned his B.S. in Sociology from Utah State University. Brett leaves behind his parents, his sisters, Michelle Genna and Melissa “Annie” Miller and his brother, Ryan Miller. He also leaves behind his son, Nolan Gaskill, and his grandmothers, Barbara Cannon Miller and Venice Stayner Strong. His many friends, cousins, aunts and uncles also mourn his passing. Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 13, 2014 at 11:00 am at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 South Highland Drive, Salt Lake City. Friends may call Friday from 6:00-8:00 at the mortuary and from 9:45-10:45 am Saturday. Burial will be in Elysian Gardens. The family suggests donations to the U of U Harold G. (Hack) Miller and Gus Uffens Scholarship Fund for medical research.
