David C. Miller, beloved husband, grandfather, son, brother, and friend, unexpectedly went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on October 27, 2025. He was born June 3, 1953, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to Joel and Lavern Miller.
David was preceded in death by his father, Joel Miller, and brother, Larry Miller.
He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Cynthia Ward Miller; grandsons Addison Bostian (Crystal) and Corbin Bostian (Mat), whom he and Cynthia raised and loved as their own; his mother, Lavern Miller of Hot Springs; siblings Freddy Miller (Shiela), Wesley Miller (Robin), Paul Miller, Helen Guidry, and Lisa Miller (Randy), all of Hot Springs; stepdaughters, Maya Robbins and Jamie Robbins of Bentonville, Arkansas; six additional grandchildren: Olivia, Tyler, Austin, Grant, Faith, and Joseph; three great-grandchildren: Bradley, Alex, and Riley; numerous nieces and nephews; cherished family member Denise Miller; and countless friends.
David was a man of God with a servant's heart who would help anyone in need. He cherished every moment with his family, time with Addison and Corbin, his weekly visits with his mother, working and joking with Freddy, and any gathering with his large extended family. A kind, loving, and gentle man, he always had a smile on his face, a story to tell, and a hug to share. He never met a stranger and was loved by all.
A true entrepreneur, David bought, renovated, and ran convenience stores, and owned and developed commercial and private properties. After retiring, he spent the last 25 years working alongside Freddy in landscaping, humbly calling themselves the "yard boys." He will be deeply missed by all.
