GOSHEN-Wesley “Wes” Jonathan Joseph Miller, 23, chose to go home on May 22, 2023.  He was born May 9, 2000, in Elkhart, Indiana.

  Surviving is his father, John (Tatiana Caramico) Miller, mother, Kimberley (Robert) Lichty, 2 sisters, Morgan (Grant) Robinson, Sara (Antonn Robinson) Miller, a niece, Spencer and a nephew, Logan.  Also surviving are his paternal grandparents, Joe & Linda Chavez, and maternal grandparent, Lynn Hawk.

  He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Don Hawk, maternal grandmother, Janet Hawk and his beloved dog, Toby.

  Wes was a technical guru, that could accomplish anything he set his mind to.  He enjoyed playing computer games, listening to music, being in nature, walking, fishing and much more.  He was a fan of anything with a motor including cars and motorcycles, and a dog lover as well.  Family was extremely important to Wes, and he will fondly be remembered for his affectionate hugs.     

  Due to the importance of mental health and Wes’s own struggles the family would like anyone who may need assistance to call 988, “You Are Not Alone”.  Additionally, they ask that in lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be given to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the Elkhart County Suicide Prevention Hotline, or to the family to offset expenses.  

    Cremation will take place and a gathering of family and friends will be held 1 hour prior to the 2 p.m. celebration of life service Friday, June 23, 2023, at Granger Community Church Elkhart Campus.  Presiding will be Pastors Ang and Ted Bryant. 

Walley-Mills-Zimmerman Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the arrangements.
