David Miller Obituary

David Dow Miller, 57, died of a heart attack on Friday, November 19, 2010 at his home in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Services will be held at 10:00 am Tuesday, November 23, 2010 at the Bartlesville Community Center, with Father Robert Gates officiating. Casual attire acceptable, cowboy boots encouraged.
David was born in Tahlequah, OK on July 3, 1953. He was the first of four children born to Dow and Billye Miller of Norman, Ok. He moved to Norman at age six and attended Norman Public Schools, graduating from Norman High School in 1971. David attended the University of Oklahoma where he was a member of Delta Upsilon and the OU Marching Band. After finishing his undergraduate work at OU, he went on to OU Medical School where he earned a Doctorate in OB/GYN.
David had made Bartlesville his home since 1983. For 30 years, he has been a caring physician and friend to his many patients and their families. He and his devoted staff worked diligently to ensure the best care to everyone who entered their office. He had two sons with his first wife, Lynne. Later, when he married Carrie, he was lucky to also share her two daughters as his own. David lived a life full of joy, love, trials, adventure and challenges, just the way most people hope to. He served as a member of the Jane Phillips Medical board from 2000 thru 2006, and also served as Chief of Staff from 2002 thru 2004.
He loved his family and was always there when anyone needed anything. He loved the outdoors, his boat, fishing and spending time with his wife Carrie and grandchildren Ava, Bella and Jackson who will remember him as their loving grandpa, Da.
David left us much too young. He will be tremendously missed.
He is survived by his wife Carrie, his sons Jonathan and Jordan Miller, Jonathan's fiancé Rachel and their children Isabella Michelle and Jackson Dow, his stepdaughters Taylor Carter and Farol Cain, Taylor's husband Bryan and their daughters Ava Elizabeth and Ryan Kate. He is also survived by his mother and father, Billye Sue and Charles Dow Miller, his brother Doug and his wife April, his sister Sue and her husband Fred Chilless, and his sister Leigh Baldock all of Norman, OK, along with numerous nephews and nieces, and his loving pets Boomer, Jane, Maddie, Maurice and Braxton.
He was preceded in death by his beloved collie Danny.

I had gone t see Dr Miller just after he started his practice in B'ville. I liked him right off and went to him till I moved out of town. I have missed his smile and jokes ever since. I was shocked to see that he left this earth too early. We use to joke about how he was an old man because he was a few months older than me. We talked and joked about needing to loose weight and get our figures back into shape. I liked Dr Miller so much that I even sent my daughters to him when they were growing up and needed help. He also delivered my grandchildren. David Miller was an awesome Dr and a wonderful caring man. He is going to be missed by all. My prayers are with his wife, kids and family. God Blessed you Dr Miller in many ways. God Bless your family now and your staff in this time of sorrow.

To Dr. Miller's Family: I pray that all these wonderful words that have been said here help you through this painful struggle. Thank you for allowing David to be there for all of us!
There are so many awesome stories to tell and I, too, am a former patient who grew to love him dearly and call him friend. If he had not had the tenacity to hang in there with me and figure out what was wrong with me I don't know what would have happened.
I feel a deep sense of loss as do so very many others. May God Bless You David/Dr. Miller and all of your loved ones.
With love: Mary Ann

DR. Miller was an amazing Doc. I first started going to him when he started his bussiness here. He did five major operations on me. I will never forget all the care and compassion i received from him durning each and every office visit and surgery. He would call me at home to check and see how I was doing and if everything was ok. He would come in to my room after sergery and always have a cup of coffee and I always knew when he was walking down the hall cause I could hear his cowboy boots coming towards my room. He would pinch my toes and give me that BIG SMILE and ask how I was doing. He would sit his coffee cup down and than sit down and talk to me about what he done and that things went good and that I would be ok. One time things did not go good and I had to go back into surgery cause of one stich came undone and he felt so bad about it that he did not charge me for the surgery. He always made me feel better after talking to him. He was a friend and my DR. He will never be replaced. I will see you again in Heaven DR. Miller. I hope you will still be wearing the cowboy boots. Sending prayers to Carrie and Family

He was so many things to me. Doctor, miracle worker, boss, coworker, friend. His grin will forever be a part of the memories that I have of him. God has one of the best men up there with him now adn I can't think of a better person who deserves that honor.

Angela

November 28, 2010

Dr Miller had an amazing memory. He remembered things from years ago. He was always there if you needed something... even a cup of coffee. He delivered my oldest child over 12 years ago and took care of me through out the years. We cried together and we laughed together. I knew that I could always trust everything that he said. When delivering my baby he gave me 10 minutes to get her out or I was going to have a c-section... with his help and less than 10 minutes later we got her out. Thank you Dr Miller for everything that you have done for every one of your patients. You will be severly missed. God has the best OB Dr with him to help deliver the angels in heaven.

My heart is heavy for the family, staff, friends and patients. He was my doctor in the mid 80's, I had infertility problems. At that time there were few options I could afford but he did his very best to help me without pulling punches. What I remember the most about him was his incredible sense of humor. He had the ability to use it to distract me during some horribly painful procedures. My cousin is part of his staff, she is completely devastated. He was such an adorable person with so much to give, so full of life that continues to be shock that he is gone. This community has lost a talented doctor and great man. My prayers and thoughts are with everyone that loved him. With love ~

Crazy Doc Miller, THe one we all loved so much. You will leave a great void in the heart of the medical community and your patients, children and family will have indidual missing as well. You are so funny, carring, and concerned. You joked around but you also knew when to get serious and take care of business. WHen my sister had surgery and dumped abour 4 units of blood in her chest you got right on it and she is alive to day because of it. Thank you. Carrie, we love you and want to comfort you in any way. What an amazing man he was and a difficult one to replace. I think he is just irreplaceable. :) Keep your chin up.

Dr.Miller has delivered all three of my grandbabies, and was caring for my 4th one on the way. My daughter and I seen him Tues. and we both talked about how great it was to see him and his boots again. We joked with him and said "this one better be a girl or you and the dad are fired"!
We will miss your loving smile, good jokes and the comfort of just knowing we were cared for by the best! May the Lord give your family peace, and may you stand in His presence with rest.
Love and prayers,

Rest in Peace, Dr Miller. You were an amazing doctor, and a compassionate man. Thank you for being there for the celebration of our babies, and the tears of our tribulations. John and I will miss you dearly in the delivery room in January! I hope you enjoyed the Bedlam game!

Dr. Miller you will be greatly missed. You were a wonderful OBGYN. The best I will ever have. Darrin and I shared so many stories regarding our OB visits. I always knew I was doing good when you winked and smiled at me. Then you would turn around and start to talk to Darrin about hunting. We will miss you greatly!

Dr. Miller cried for me and now I'm crying for him and his family. One of most generous, compassionate people I know cried when he had to tell a 19 year old girl she had to have a total hysterectomy. He had tried everything, lost sleep and was truly saddened by this outcome. I am so honored to have known him.

Denise Moore

November 27, 2010

Rest in Peace Dr. Miller. I loved having you as a doctor when you did my hysterectomy.You had us laughing so hard all I could do was hold a pillow up to my tummy hard and laughed til I cried.
Thank you for being you. Boots,coffee and all.
Blessed Be my friend.

I met Dr. D in 1985 for surgery, and thought at the time the world of him. I thought he be around for many years. The first the thing out of my mouth was"oh my god,no". He will be sorely missed. My utmost thought's and sympathy's for his wife and family. I know we are all better people for knowing him. Oh did I MENTION THAT STRANGE SINCE OF HUMER HE HAD. What a great guy.

November 25, 2010

Oh my God! That was my first reaction. I had thought that Doc would be around to deliver my grandchildren. He never went anywhere without that darn cup of coffee, even into the delivery room. It was there when my daughter, Susanne, was born in 2001.He was an excellent OB/GYN. I remember on one visit, he had a limp. I asked him about it and he swore me to secrecy. He had on his trademark boots and had taken the trash, and had slipped on the ice in the driveway. Dr. Miller, you will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, employees, co-workers, patients and their families during this time.

Doc, God needed you to deliver the angels :)

my son and daughter that he delivered!!!

David was my best friend in the DU fraternity house in college and our friendship has lasted through the last forty years since. Some friendships are just too great to lose track of through distance or time. We had many wild adventures together in our youth -- amazing, unforgettable memories, in college and beyond.

While we hadn’t seen each other in person in years, we’ve always kept in touch. I talked to him briefly by phone two weeks ago, and by email just a few days ago -- it's unbelievable that he’s gone from the world. He’ll never leave my heart.

He was as bright and caring as anyone I’ve ever known, and had a sense of good humor that pervaded his relationships and all the lives he touched. I can’t think of David without smiling – to know him was to love him.

Dikaia, Dave, and Boomer Sooner!

It saddens me deeply to hear for Dr. Miller passing. I worked in his office, my first job after high school. I remember I hated to make a mistake becuase that meant I had to go tell him. One time I though I broken the shredder and I waited all day to tell him, to my surprise his response was, "buy another one". He was a very nice person. My prayer are with his family and friends. I just recently lost my Dad, and for me to hear how much he was appreciated, help sooth my grief. I want his sons to know he was a great person

It was my great privilege to work for Dr. Miller for several years. He treated each of his patients with respect and dignity. His down-to-earth manner put everyone at ease. I was always proud to say I worked for him. My heart comes out to his family and friends as their loss is great. He will be missed by so many.

Dr. Miller was so good to me in 1998 during a time that it looked like I might have cancer. His smile and caring manner will be greatly missed. My husband, Michael B. Anderson, attended medical school with Dr. Miller. We had talked about going to Bartlesville and contacting Dr. Miller to reconnect as friends. Our prayers are with his family.

I feel that Dr. Miller saved my life in a way.. I had some bad tests come back saying that there was a chance that i could have Cervical Cancer. I went to Dr. Miller to find out if it was true or not. That is a day that i will not soon forget. He told me that everything was fine and that i did not have Cancer. That was a life changing moment to me. I just hope that his family can find peace in knowing that he touched the lives and hearts of so many people.

Dr Miller. Such a wonderful man and an amazing Dr. Through my first pregnancy you kept me laughing even through my worries. Even if it was a serious question. Through my twins you were wonderful. Glad you had that c-section that morning or you wouldn't have been in time to meet them. Your thoughts of doing laundry and vacuuming to make the stretching pains go away will always make me laugh. Your smile, style, boots and coffee will be missed. We have lost a great man in Bartlesville, but we were lucky enough to have him touch our lives and given us wonderful memories.

Dr. Miller Delivered my son 12 1/2 yrs ago.

Dr Miller saved my life. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. After looking at the CT scan, his comment was "we won't be doing this in Bartlesberg.". He referred me to Cancer Care in Tulsa where I received great care. It is never easy to receive a diagnosis of cancer, but Dr. Miller and his staff were so kind to me and my husband. It made the process more bearable. Bartlesville has lost a wonderful doctor, and he will be missed by all. My condolences go out to his family and friends. RIP, Dr. Miller!

Last year during one of my early visits to Dr. Miller with my first pregnancy I came to my appointment with a notepad full of questions about what I should/should not do. After about the 3rd one, Dr. Miller looked and me and said "Women have been having babies since the Pioneer days. Everything will be fine." And it was....Thank you for making this first time mom feel completely safe in your care. You will be dearly missed.

Dr. Miller was very special to me and my family. Besides being the OBGYN for my daughters he was very special to my Grandmother. He always wanted to talk about my Mema Dickie Horn. You will be missed. I remember whenever he noticed my twins on the ultrasound and said a typical Dr. Miller saying and walked out without saying a word. A few minutes later he walked back in with a couple of nurses to verify that he saw twins. Heaven is laughing with your great sense of humor. One thing about Dr. Miller is when he was serious he was very serious.

Brooke Jones

November 23, 2010

Ok so I once knew this girl that got pregnant at 17 with a kid or two :) and she had a terribly, rough pregnancy and prematurely went into labor and you were there for her every step of the way and without you those 14 year old boys wouldn't be here today. That same girl a few years later was trying to get into nursing school and you helped her by writing an awesome letter of recommendation and "making a few phone calls". After that girl finished nursing school, she needed a job after nursing school and you once again wrote another letter and she successfully started a great job. Then this same girl years later wondered if she would be a good nursing teacher and you were the one who encouraged her and made her feel like she could do it. Then this same girl I know had her heart broken a few years ago and you sat with her for over an hour telling her how great she was and how much she deserved. Then this girl thought she wanted another baby and you once again helped her with this decision and assured her that despite her age and past experience it would be just fine. Then just a few months ago trouble popped up again and you did all you could to help her get through it all. That girl was me! Thank you Miller for all you have done for me and my family. I will be forever grateful for the care and support you provided. You have touched so many lives and I am thankful to have been one of those. Thanks again for everything. Many prayers to your wife, kids, grand-kids, family, and friends. Boomer Sooner!

I was one of the very fortunate nurses to work with Dr. Miller in his office. Not only was he a fantastic boss, and doctor,he was a wonderful friend. He never judged and he always had your back. Working with him was like being at recess, fun, laughter and sometimes name calling, but you knew you could always count on him..he was our "fearless leader". I will miss him so very much. All my love and prayers to Carrie and the family...BOOMER SOONER, Doc..love you?

Debra Denny

November 23, 2010

Dr. Miller was a wonderful doctor. He has delivered many of my grandchildren. But as I ponder my thoughts one of the things that stands out is that Dr. Miller was an everyday common Man who didn't make you feel small or uncomfortable. Also, I will miss seeing him shopping at Walmart.

Natalie Booher

November 23, 2010

We loved Dr. Miller. He delivered me 26 years ago and he was my doctor for my twins 2 years ago. I will never find another Dr like him. He will be sorely missed, our sympathies and prayers are with his family in this trying time.

No one can ever say enough about Dr. Miller. What made him so special is that he was so real. Just another guy doing his job. He was passionate about his work and worked diligently to do whatever needed to be done for his patients. As a patient, he made you feel at ease with his easy going manner. He met each patient on their level. He remembered you from year to year and was interested in your life. He spoke to you when he saw you. He was real. I know the community will miss him and I am sure his family is lost without him. Thoughts and prayers with them all. RIP Dr. Miller.

Dr. Miller was one of the best OB residents back in the early 1980's at Oklahoma Memorial Hospital. His humor and antics always made the long shifts easier to work. I am not surprised at all the wonderful entries here from his patients. We as the nurses always knew he would do well in his OB-GYN practice. I know he will be greatly missed by his medical community. My condolences to his family.

I first met Dr. Miller when I worked for a pedatrician office years ago(we would ride the elevator together) The first thing I noticed about him was his smile no matter what was going on he was always smiling. I was having a difficult time and went into see Dr. Miller he was so kind he listened to what I had to say and then offered suggestions to me. I'll never forget he told me one time that I was going to have days that I was angry and he said on those days if I needed to come in and just scream at him and tell him I was angry he said his door was always open. That's the kind of Dr. he was. My prayers go out to his family. Dr. Miller will never be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with David's family, friends and patients in his loss. David and I went to high school together. We went to the University of Oklahoma and were in the same fraternity as well. I remember David as being someone who had a great smile and always made you feel welcome. From reading some of the other entries in the guest book, it sounds like he had not changed.

Dr Miller was a wonderful Doctor and friend. He was there with me to rejoice a successful pregnancy with two healthy babies,and there to help cope through a very hard and emotional pregnancy. I will always remember you walking in the room with your coffee cup and your brilliant smile. You have touched many lives and your legacy will live on forever.

I was one of Dr. Miller's first patients, back in 1983 and have continued thru to the present. As with many, I'm heartsick that he has passed at such a young age and feel I have lost not only my doctor, but a great friend. He and my husband, Don, use to take an annual fishing weekend to Grove where they had so many laughs and fun.I wish to Carrie and all his family, my deepest condolences at your loss. There is no other like him and he will be forever missed.

Miller man you were such an amazing guy. You took care of me when I was a kid, delivered my first two babies and made it possible for me to have two more by reversing my tubal ligation. You always made me laugh when I needed it and I think I might have gotten you once or twice as well. To Carrie and the rest of your family God Bless you and I am so sorry he is gone. He will never be forgotten. Boomer Sooner Miller! Love you so much.

My condolences to the family. David and I were pledge brothers in Delta Upsilon at the University of Oklahoma. Although I only saw him a few times after college he was always the same person - friendly, always with a smile on his face, and an engaging personality. He was clearly a person who loved life and the people in his life. He will be missed.

Dr. Miller was a great man and doctor. I am lucky that I had the pleasure of knowing him and him delivering 2 of my boys.He always made me feel comfortable and I never had to worry. I had a minor surgery last month with him, and even though I was nervous he made me feel safe and told me I would be great and I knew that he was right and I was in good hands. I will truely miss him and my warmest regards to his family and friends.

I am not sure what it will be like to have a baby in April and not have you as a Doctor. I knew with you I was in great hands and that me and my baby would be great! You will be so missed and I am so thankful that you brought my son into the world 7 years ago! God bless you and your family and your staff and patients. We will meet again someday!

Dr. Miller, a warm caring, compassionate doctor who sincerely cared about his patients. He will be truly missed, the smile, the cup of coffee, his teasing about OSU and OU rivals. I can't say enough about a man that truly had a calling to be a doctor. I enjoyed the conversations of him asking about family members and just visitng as if he were your best friend. I also enjoyed hearing of his and Carrie's adventures and travel. What a wonderful doctor and man. He will truly be missed. The boots can never be filled.

Dr. Miller always brightened the room! I wanted to return the favor, so One day on my appt. I said "Dr. Miller, I wore a special T-Shirt today for ya.." The nurse held it up so he could read it... (It was a Joes Crabshack shirt that simple read...>Even Good Girls Get Crabs!)....He threw his head back and LAUGHED outloud!! & the nurse High-fived me! It was nice to hear him laugh.....My mission accomplished! He will be missed by all! ....My prayers go out to ALL his family that are missing him already. & I Thank you Dr. Miller for bringing my daughter into this world.

Carrie and Family,
Dr Miller was a great Dr and man. He helped me to understand why I lost my first son and helped me with 3 of my other children. He was a good man. Him in his cowboy boots for delivery was great.
We are holding you up in prayer for peace and understanding. Vicky

It was 23 years ago when I first met Dr. Miller. He greeted me with a smile & quite a sense of humor. I knew before I left that office I found a great Doctor! Thru the years I remained his patient & was proud to tell others what a awesome Doctor he was! He delivered my first grandchild, it didnt take long for my daughter to know what a kind & caring Dr he was! Some years later he perform sugery, which I had unexpected complications. He was there many times by my side. It was early in the am & there was his smiling face with a cup of coffee. He told me now dont give up on me, because Im not giving up on you! I know in my heart the knowledge & compassion of Dr. David Miller saved my Life. Many doctors visits after that I always told him how thankful I was for all he did for me! He would grin and say Im your Dr & your friend. I will miss you greatly Dr. Miller, no one can fill those boots you wore. You did so much for so many on this earth, and now you are a guardian angel for all. My heartfelt prayers & thoughts are with the Miller family.

Dr. Miller delivered 3 of my kids. He had such a sense of humor! He touched the lives of many, and for many, his touch was their first touch in this life. May God be with his family, and confort them. And may he rest in peace.

Dr. Miller delivered my last two children and when my oldest daughter became pregnant, we went to him, he walked in and he thought I was the one having a baby AGAIN! Told him, did he forget that HE tied my tubes just 4 yrs earlier...he remembered but we laughed about that for days..

I will always remember the cup of coffee, smile, and his head be bopping. I will miss him greatly, and was looking forward to him delivering my 2nd grandchild in May.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and children.

Dr. Miller was only my doctor for about two years but we went through a lot during that time. He took care of me through my miscarriage and he delivered my beautiful baby girl this past April. I can remember he just knew I was going to have to have a c-section and I kept telling him "NO WAY" Sure enough I proved him wrong. I remember telling him that after I delivered and he just smiled that smile and laughed. I also recall being so sad when my time was through to go and see him weekly after I delivered. I will truly miss him and am still in disbelief that he has passed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and staff. BOOMER SOONER! We love you and will miss you terribly! I will never forget you Dr. Miller. You were an amazing man!

Dr Miller was an answer not only to my prayers but to many of the women he cared for. He not only took care of me, but my daughter and delivered my granddaughter. Every time I think of him, I think about all the laughs we shared, the opinions we shared, and of course that smile of his! I don't think I will ever look at a styrofoam cup with coffee the same again. The world has gotten a little darker without his light in it. God Bless!

Dr. Miller was my doctor for the last 19 years. He saw me through 2 miscarriages and 2 pregnancies. As so many others have said, he was so kind and compassionate. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this difficult time. I pray that they will find some comfort in all of the kind words. He was one of a kind and will surely be missed.

I would like to give my condolences to Dr. Miller's family. I don't have to tell them what a wonderful man he was. I did not have the pleasure of him delivering my children. I did start going to him shortly after they were born. I have been going to him for 23 yrs. My daughter who is 26 went to him for her 1st exam 8 yrs ago. she was so nervous. He made her feel at ease She just loved him. They shared stories about there dogs. He came in to my room and told me how sweet she was. Dr. Miller helped me thru a very difficult descision when I was 42.The most caring man I know cowboy boots and all.

Dr. Miller delivered my son on 02-01-1997 There was just him and Dr. Harris assisting. 5 deliveries that night and 3 of them was C-sections. I had an abruption. Dr. Miller was in the middle of a C-section when the nurse turned to my mom and said "we will have to deliver this baby ourselves!" The nurse told me to roll over or my baby could die! She started breaking down the bed and pushing on my stomach. I wasnt even fully dialated. Dr. Miller took the baby from the C-section and clamped the mother. Came in delivered my son. Sent him off to be suctioned and taken care of because he wasnt breathing. Then went back and sewed up the other mother. Our babies was born 1 min and 39 sec apart. All while I was in the holding room! I didnt get to lay eyes on my son until 3 hours later. But if it wasnt for Dr. Miller I may never have seen him take a breath. Every time I ran into him he always remembered who I was and gave me a hard time for giving him a hard time. He is the reason my wonderful son is here to share our lives! He will always have a special place in my heart. And he did it all in cowboy boots! I have the video to prove it!
