Donald Miller Obituary

Miller, Donald Lee

Miller, Donald L., age 94, of Beavercreek, Ohio passed away Monday, October 7th just shy of his 95th birthday. His loving and dedicated wife of 73 years was by his side, along with family. Don was a 1947 graduate of Chaminade High School. He was a proud lifetime member of Bricklayers local 22 and served as its president for 8 years. Don loved his sports teams. The Cincinnati Reds, The University of Dayton Flyers and the Bengals – but he was a "super fan" of the team he referred to as "God's Team"- the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. He was a member of both the Moose and Eagles lodges and their golf leagues for 30 years. Don loved to play cards and was an avid Euchre player. He loved being at the beach with his family. Family vacations consisted of yearly trips to Florida. Don's deep devoted love for his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and his faith were cornerstones of his life. He was preceded in death by his parents Orville and Betty Miller; and by siblings, Jean, Bob, Fred, Babe and Bev. He is survived by his wife of 73 years, Nancy; sons, Tom, Jack (Marie), Daniel (Melanie), Steve (Maureen); daughter, Sue (John); sister, Carol; 12 grandchildren, and 15 great grandchildren.

Don was an avid basketball fan and player. He had an accurate left handed shot that confused his opponents. He will be missed at the Kett. Rec Center for his basketball ability and keen sense of humor. Not only was Don enthusiastic about Sports, he was also a beloved Family man demonstrating compassion, caring, and understanding toward everyone. His favorite admirer was Jerry (aka Hopper). I am grateful to have known and experienced life with my cousin Don Miller!! Thanks Don
