On Saturday, September 26, 2020, loving son, brother and boyfriend – Kyle William Miller – passed away suddenly at age 33 in Crystal River, FL. He was surrounded by close friends, and living life to the fullest. Kyle was born in Thousand Oaks, CA on August 24, 1987 to Ciarra Lodin of Lakewood Ranch, FL and Bill Miller of Cranberry Township, PA.
He is survived by his mother, Ciarra Lodin, devoted partner of 9 years, Kyra Cardullo of Tampa, FL, his father, Bill Miller, his stepmother Michele Miller, siblings Ryan Miller, Brittany Burrows (Miller), her husband Steve Burrows and their two daughters Morgan & Quinn, all of Pennsylvania. His grandmothers; Harriette “Ahta†Hard, Ellie Spiegel and Carol Morris. His aunts and uncles; Debbie & Bobi Kostopoulos, Debbi Miller, Brad & Janet Spiegel, Rick & Barbara Spiegel, Scott Spiegel, Lonni & Eric Reasor, Scott Hard, Renee & Tony Walker and Scott & Susan Morris. Cousins; Kolya Kostopoulos, Jesslyn McCallum (Kostopoulos) and her husband Anthony McCallum, Jaden & Aubree Reasor, Irina, Alexandra, Talia, Halina, Julia and Harrison Spiegel, Olivia Carroll, James Walker, Anthony Morris, Jeni Higgins (Miller) and Scott Miller. He will be joining his deceased grandparents, Hal Spiegel, Richard & Marion Miller and “Jimpa†(Jim Hard), his uncle Dick Miller, as well as his favorite adventure-dog, Bandit.
He received a BS in Business Administration from SUNY Buffalo State and also attended college at Johnson and Wales University of Denver, CO. He was an avid Boston Bruins fan. He had a PASSION for cooking and baking, LOVED the mountains, beaches, cars/racing, boating, fishing, comedy, horror movies, live music, traveling, day-trading and mainly being with Kyra and his Catahoula Leopard Dog, Lana.
Kyle was known for his immense drive, quick wit, his infectious smile and laugh, his generous spirit, compassionate nature and incredible sense of humor. Although he has left us entirely too soon, it is obvious to see the huge impact he made in his world. Kyle impressed a lasting mark on all those who he came in contact with, and he will be missed beyond words by all of us.

BillMiller and family. So sad and just devastated with the news. Kyle was too young and full of life to leave his family and friends. Fun loving, funny, helping others he was so much like his dad. Remember all the great times you all enjoyed with him. Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes to all of Kyles friends and family
