David carried on a tradition of construction as a master carpenter/cabinet maker from his uncles and father known in the area he grew up in Indiana as Miller Brothers Construction. He loved the water, fishing, his family, and always had a special fondness for the Chesapeake Bay area. He was known to be a prankster with a smile that could light up a room. He loved when you were the victim of these little jokes he played along the way as well.

There will be a graveside funeral at Fairlawn Cemetery in Kentland, Indiana on Monday, November 26, 2018, at 1:00 CST. There will be no visitation in Maryland or Indiana.

In Lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate if donations could be made to the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) at www.DAV.org as they were a great advocate for David these last couple of years.
