Below was written by a very good friend and captures Dave’s essence 100%:

How do you say goodbye to someone that has been a true constant in your life for over 45 years? A post on Facebook doesn’t even remotely come close to doing the justice that my friend Dave Miller deserves.

David James John Miller was my best friend, my best man, my quarterback, my sometime life coach, and my biggest cheerleader. He was known by everyone and loved by all.

I was lucky to have known him and to have spent countless hours sitting next to him with Miller Lite in hand reminiscing all of our past glory and all of the amazing times we had…he remembered them all, down to the finest details.

I am better for having known him. Way back when, at the start of high school, a chance meeting and a fast friendship (and the fact that Dave often refused to take no for an answer) most definitely changed the trajectory of my life in the best possible way. He could be very persuasive!

I will miss Dave Miller. I will miss the fact that that whenever we said goodbye, he always gave me a big hug and most times a scruffy kiss on the cheek and said “I love ya man”. And he meant it. I loved him too. He was my true brother from another mother way before that was even a thing.

While lately I didn’t see him that all that often, we stayed in touch and it was always good to hear his voice. Whenever I would call, he would never just say Hello. It was always “What’s Up Vinny?” I will miss that. I miss the miss the comfort of knowing that he is out there if I ever needed him. He was the type of person who would answer any call, grant any favor without complaint, and be there to help at a moment’s notice. He did that for me and he did the same for more people than anyone could possibly count.

Dave Miller was a good man…a friend’s friend to the highest possible degree. I am sad that he is gone. I will miss him dearly and I will think about him often until the day that I die. I will raise a glass in his honor at every opportunity.

Here’s to you Dave Miller. I love you man. Rest in peace.
