Blane Lee Miller, age 20, of Hull, Illinois, passed away on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at his home in Hull, Illinois. He was born April 21, 2005, in Quincy, Illinois, to Bradley Miller and Crystal (Fesler) Barker.

Blane grew up in Barry and graduated from Western High School in 2023 where he played basketball, baseball and football. During high school he worked at Wendy’s and Subway. He went on to work for the City of Barry, FS, and Bart Smith. Recently Blane took on small construction jobs and could take anything apart and put it back together. He was good with his hands and anything he touched. He loved to fish and work out. Blane loved music and would sometimes sing with his dad. He played guitar and was getting into writing music. Blane will be remembered as always smiling, and as a kind, caring, sweet soul who loved his family and friends.
