We are sad to announce the passing of Gavin Alexander Miller of Lynchburg, Virginia.  He died at the age of 18 on October 20, 2022, from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident that occurred five days prior.

Gavin was a graduate of Brookville High School, attended Campbell County Technical Center and had future aspirations of beginning a career in law enforcement.  He was an avid reader and fan of cinema, with a strong interest in science fiction, Anime, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.  Gavin loved spending time and playing with his younger cousins. His other hobbies included archery and playing basketball as well as a passion for listening to classic rock and roll music.

He is survived by his mother, Tonya Bernard; two sisters, Hannah Thomas and Abby Bernard; maternal grandmother, Suzie Simmons; paternal grandmother, Judy Miller.  He is also survived by several devoted aunts, uncles and cousins who will always carry his memory in their hearts.

I am so sorry I could not join you all today. Sending all my love and lots of prayers. So sad, but beautiful service I could feel the pain in your hearts as I cried for you Tonya, Susie, Abby, Hannah and Sabrina. I truly lost it when Ben spoke, what a true gentleman he has become. I love you all so dearly. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers. xoxo

Please accept my sincere condolence for your loss. It truly broke my heart to read about Gavin's accident and death. As both a mother and grandmother, like the two of you are, Tonya and Suzie, I am sure the pain you feel is excruciating and will be for a long, long time to come. I'm certain that all of you are also relying on comfort from Bible promises of a resurrection (Acts 24:15) and the sure future of paradise when all causes of the pain you're experiencing will be completely gone forever. (Rev. 21:4) Tonya, Hannah, Abby, and Suzie, you're all in my prayers.
