Lauren Patrick Miller

Lauren Patrick Miller passed away peacefully with family by his side on December 12, 2022 in Rockwall, Texas. Lauren was born in Muskegon, MI to Victor Lawrence and Patricia Eileen Miller on March 28, 1952. Both of Lauren’s parents have preceded him in death along with his sister, Marcia Tackx. Lauren was known for many accomplishments in life, yet his greatest reward was his love for the Lord and his family! Lauren was very involved in Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Rockwall Texas for many years serving as an usher for 25 years and helping with the design of the expanding facilities; later Lauren joined the perish at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Terrell, Texas. Lauren was passionate about the outdoors and loved to make the scene around him even more beautiful; Lauren worked for the City of Mesquite in the parks department and helped design and maintain the parks of Mesquite, where his handiwork can still be enjoyed to this day. Other joys in Lauren’s life were his time camping with his family, especially to their favorite camping trips to Daingerfield State Park, but anytime they were together was a precious moment and time well spent. The greatest blessings in Lauren’s life were his family: Lauren and Barbara had celebrated 31 years together in love and friendship, and the children and grandchildren they shared together were his greatest treasures. He really enjoyed being a husband, father, the Best Poppi, and a great friend. Left to cherish Lauren’s memories are his beloved wife, Barbara Miller, daughter, Shawna Gaston and husband Martin and son Jason Muhsmann and wife Julie. Also left to cherish Lauren’s legacy are his grandchildren, Avery Gaston, Grant Gaston, brothers Greg Miller and wife Suzanne and Paul Miller and wife Helen along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, all of whom will miss Lauren very much. A funeral mass is scheduled for Monday, December 19, 2022 at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Terrell, Texas at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers Lauren would be happy for you to make a contribution to either St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or to St. John The Apostle Catholic Church for their ongoing building ministry in the community of Terrell.
