Jason Edward Miller

Jason Edward Miller, age 44, of Chadds Ford, PA passed away unexpectedly early Monday, February 10, 2025 at home from a heart attack.

Jason was a carpenter working part-time for Poe Construction. Like his father, Jason was quite the handyman due to his previous job experiences of working with elevators, being a maintenance technician, and a pool technician. He was very creative when it came to fixing things. It meant a lot to Jason to be able to take care of his Mom, her house, pool and property after his father passed.

Jason was kind, loving and had an adventurous soul. He loved the outdoors and could often be found with his many friends fishing, kayaking on the Brandywine, playing Disc Golf and a serious game of Dungeons and Dragons. Jason was also passionate about his Dallas Cowboys!

Besides family, Jason’s favorite thing in this world was being Uncle Jason to his nephew and niece, Ian and Samantha Miller. He enjoyed making them toys on the 3D printer he got himself for Christmas and playing against them on the Xbox. At Easter time he would always join in and help color the Easter eggs. Our last Christmas together was memorable and was spent at his brother Jared’s house. Jason gave out so many gifts it was like he was Santa Clause.

Jason is survived by his mother, Sara Brereton Miller, his brother Jared (Aiza) and his nephew Ian and niece Samantha. He is also survived by his grandmother, Jane Brereton, his uncles Hood (Susan) Brereton, Andy (Carrie) Brereton and John (Kathy) Brereton, 6 cousins and 4 first cousins once removed. Jason was predeceased in death by his father, Joseph Edward Miller.

Dear Jason, You brought so much laughter and light into our lives. You were always fun to be around, whether working alongside us at the Corn Maze entertaining a large crowd on the Army truck while they readied their paintballs, hyping them to get the zombies, painting furniture, helping my parents, joking with my sons, floating down the Brandywine, coming over to our house for bonfires and parties, giggly or somber conversations, inviting us to join the fun at your family pool, or just making sure we never took life too seriously. Your kind heart, quick wit, and ability to keep us all on our toes will be deeply missed. Thank you, Jason, for the memories, the laughter, and the love you shared so freely. Rest easy, my friend. You will never be forgotten. Xoxo Love, Emma (and Cole, Dalton, and Luke)

I just wanted to say a thank you to Jay, if not for him I would not know you all. I want to let you all know it's not easy for a person like me to make friends and with Jason it was just that easy you all took his word as bond about me and that right there says all you need to know about him , for him to vouch for a guy like me says alot , truly a class act and a true friend. I will miss him dearly!

Dear Sara & family - I will always hold the many memories of Jason in my heart. He was a central figure in the introduction of many friends to each other in his large and loving friend group that remains strong to this day. Jason was truly a "brother from another mother" to my son as well as many other of his friends. He was full of love, adventure and compassion and I loved him dearly. He will be missed but carried in our hearts forever. May he rest in peace. With sympathy, - Christine Ford

Liz Lewis lit a candle and writes,

Although I only knew Jason for five years, that was more than enough time for him to leave a lasting impression. He was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and truly special. Jason had a rare ability to sense when someone was upset or needed help and always showed up. It was clear how much he cherished being an uncle, and just hearing him on the phone with his niece & nephew was enough to melt anyone's heart. There was so much warmth and beauty in both his eyes and his soul. I hope he knew just how special and appreciated he was and how deeply he is loved and missed.
