David Kenneth Miller, age 82, went to be with his Savior on October 23, 2021.
Kenneth was a kind and humble man who dearly loved the Lord, his family, and his friends. He wore many hats as a member of Mt. Juliet First Baptist Church but his favorite was serving in the bus ministry for 20 plus years with his beloved wife, Liz. Together they shared the love of Christ with hundreds of children. They also found a special calling in rehoming furniture, appliances, and numerous vehicles to families in need. This benevolent ministry spanned 25 years. During this time he taught Sunday School and served as a deacon.
Kenneth attended Vanderbilt University and remained a loyal Vanderbilt fan and supporter throughout his life. He loved all sports but especially enjoyed watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren play athletics. “PaPa” seldom, if ever, missed a game. By trade, he was a Draftsman for over 50 years, being known in the industry for his attention to detail, his integrity, and workmanship in the steel industry. He also served in the National Guard for 6 years.
He is preceded in death by his parents, David Bertram Miller and Eva Mai Miller; infant daughter MeNessa Marie Miller; sister, Mildred Alice Swann; brother-in-law, Lloyd Swann; and niece, Elaine Swann.
He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 62 years, Elizabeth (Liz) Miller; daughters, Cindy Miller, Dianne Swindoll (Phil), and son, Kenneth (Kenny) Miller; grandchildren, Martina Morgan, Matthew Swindoll (Hailey); Brennan Swindoll (Ellie), and McClayne Elliott (Gregory); greatgrandchildren, Kendra Morgan, Bennett Swindoll, Baylor Swindoll, and Kendall Swindoll; brother, Jerry Miller (Kathy); sister-in-law, Helen Patterson; and nieces, Debi Tiller (David), Sherry Osborne (Bobby), Aimee Bracken (Gene), and Karen Atnip (Jason).
