Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
David Harold Miller, aged 78, passed away peacefully at his home on June 29, 2024. The second of five children of Bastien “Jake” Miller and Charlotte Miller. Dave grew up in New Jersey, graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in mechanical engineering, and enlisted as an officer in the US Air Force following graduation. Dave started a family while in the Air Force and enjoyed traveling the world both in the USAF and later for business as an executive in various manufacturing companies.
Dave’s life took him from New Jersey to Delaware, the Hudson Valley, New York City, Costa Rica, China, New England, and finally Florida. He tried many things: he was a businessman, an entrepreneur and even did a stint driving a taxi in New York City for a little while. He was an avid boater for much of his life and a proud member of the US Coast Guard auxiliary. He lived for many years in Warwick, Rhode Island, and spent countless hours on and around the Narragansett Bay, cruising on his boat, fishing from his boat, washing his boat and talking about his boat. He also enjoyed woodworking and was an inventor and a tinkerer.
Dave is survived by his wife, Lisa; children, Daniel, Lauren, and Jessica; grandchildren, Liam, Brennecke, Hailee, Harper, Jake, Jace, Evan, and Aidan; sisters, Nancy and Cathy; and brother, John.
He was predeceased by his son, Michael O’Donnell and brother, Jay Miller.
