Obituary for Danny Miller

Danny Miller, age 63, of Brooklyn Park, passed away at home on February 21, 2022. He was “our rock” and desperately loved his family.

Danny was born November 12, 1958, in Duluth and that is where he grew up. He became a born-again Christian at the age of 14 when he came to Christ at a youth retreat at Haven Evangelical Church in Duluth. After he graduated from college at St. Scholastica, he started his first job as an actuary in Sioux Falls, SD. There he met Dawn and they were married in 1984. Through the years, he worked for various life insurance companies in the Twin Cities area.

Hockey was tradition and community for Danny. He started playing as a young kid with his siblings and all the way through his life, including with his son and many friends. Danny taught his kids how to play and coached many of their teams. He greatly enjoyed watching all hockey, especially the Gophers, and attended the Frozen Four annually with his family.

Danny loved slowing down and enjoying nature, especially at the cabin. Taking in sunsets by the campfire with friends, going for a walk or bike ride, or floating on the lake in a kayak were perfect ways to enjoy God's creation.

Danny was a connector in his community, bringing friends and family together for fun and fellowship. During his young adult years, he organized canoe and camping trips as well as trips to North Star hockey games. In recent years, Danny regularly brought his theater crew together for plays and camraderie.

He is survived by his wife, Dawn; children, Kimberly, Ashley, and Gregory; parents, Kenneth & Harriet Miller; siblings, David (Judy) Miller and Kathy (Kevin) Miller; sister-in-law, Lorrie Miller; mother-in-law, Glenda Garbers; brothers-in-law, Leon Garbers, Virgil (Marlys) Garbers, Paul (Cindy) Garbers, Dale (Brenda) Garbers, and Byron (Tanya) Garbers; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces & nephews, and many friends.

He was preceded in death by brother, Jeffery Miller and father-in-law, Erwin Garbers.
