Christian L.E. Miller
May 5, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Christian Miller on May 5, 2025. Christian was the beloved son of Debbie Miller and the late Bruce Miller of Mattawa. A devoted father to Lydia Miller, Emily Miller, and Katelynn Miller, and a proud grandfather to Cora Emberose Mongrain. He will be deeply missed by his caring partner, Jennifer Neault; his sister Angelique of North Bay; and his nephews, Chase and Corbin Ohrodnyk. We also extend special recognition to his uncle Christopher Miller (Trish). Throughout his life, Christian welcomed many pets into his family, with Dozer and Abby holding a particularly special place in his heart.
A true outdoorsman, Christian found peace and purpose in nature. He had a passion for hunting and fishing, and his adventurous spirit was matched by his vibrant, fun-loving personality. On joyful days, he loved to cook and barbecue, often delighting those around him with his "Swedish Chef" impressions, eliciting laughter and showcasing his youthful spirit.
Known for his generous heart and unwavering loyalty, Christian was always ready to lend a hand and brought warmth, humour, and kindness wherever he went. He gave back in quiet, meaningful ways—offering support to those in need, and showing compassion to others in difficult times.
Christian worked tirelessly throughout his life to support his family. His diverse career included roles as a heavy equipment operator, road construction worker, oil technician, parts delivery driver, and taxi driver with U-Need-A-Cab in the early 2000s.
A lifelong hockey fan, he played in multiple leagues, any position, but was known for his goalie skills. He took great joy in coaching young players, sharing his love of the game and fostering community spirit.
Another passion of his was X-Box gaming, which allowed him to connect with fellow enthusiasts around the world, forging lifelong friendships along the way.
He faced a lifelong battle with Crohn’s Disease, which eventually led to complications including diabetes and fistulas. Despite his health challenges, Christian remained resilient, dedicated, and full of love for his family and community. His passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Christian - Your light, love, and laughter will live on in all you touched.
A church service will be held at St. Anne’s Parish in Mattawa, Saturday May 24, 2025, at 11:00 am followed by internment at Pine Hill Cemetery.
A Celebration of Christian’s life will follow immediately after at the Mike Rodden Arena, Mattawa.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Christian’s memory can be made to charities supporting those living with Crohn’s Disease or to the Mattawa Lion’s Fishing Derby or Humane Society.
