David Miller, 77, of Cleveland, Oklahoma, passed away on December 17, 2022 surrounded by the people he loved.

David was born on April 30, 1945 to Tador and Helen Miller in Portland, Oregon. After graduating from Gate High School in 1963, he received an electronics degree at Draughon Technical Institute before attending Panhandle A & M College until he was drafted into the United States Army in November of 1966. He was in the Army from 1966-1969 and served in the Vietnam War.  After returning from the Vietnam War, he worked for Northern Natural Gas (later ENRON) for forty years. On August 18, 1974, he wed Sharon and in their 48 year marriage, they made homes in multiple cities, but Gate, OK was always considered home.  After David retired, they were able to move back to Oklahoma to enjoy being close to their children and grandchildren. David and Sharon had two children, Charity and Tador.


David was a steady and strong leader of the family, determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved.  David enjoyed fishing with his son Tador, providing for Charity and Sharon, catching up with family members and old friends, and contributing to neighborhood car and building projects with his dear neighbors, the Spragues and the Nickersons.  David loved reminiscing with friends and family about times on the farm. Anyone who knew David knew that he was the most loving and helpful father, husband, brother, and friend. David was predeceased by father, Tador Victor Miller and mother, Helen Irene. He is survived by wife Sharon of Cleveland, Oklahoma; son Tador and wife Heather of Sand Springs; daughter Charity, of Sand Springs; grandchildren John and his girlfriend Maci, Ashton, and Avery; sister Karen and husband Calvin; sister Stephanie and husband Larry; sister Vicky and husband Pat; brother Steve and wife Tammy, and an abundance of dear nieces, nephews, and cousins.
