Danny Lee Miller's Obituary
Danny Lee Miller, age 90 of Cedar Hill Texas, entered Heaven’s gates on Tuesday, November 17th, 2020, in his home, with family by his side. Dan graduated from Sunset High School-Dallas in 1947. He was a proud military veteran of the US Air Force, Texas Air National Guard, attaining the rank of Master Sergeant, Navigation Engineer, on KC-97 Tankers. On March 7, 1953 Dan married the love of his life, Jen, at Calvary Baptist Church of Oak Cliff, where they were long time members. Husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Dan was predeceased by his wife, Jen, and daughter Sandy Miller. Dan is survived by a daughter Susan Logan and husband Mike, son Mike Miller and wife Sheila, and son Scott Miller. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Jeff Logan and wife Shelley, Jennifer Dennis and husband Kurt, and Nicholas Miller. Dan had six great-grandchildren, A.K., Gus and Hutch Logan, and Lauren, Allison and Brooke Dennis.
Dan’s passions were many, but above all, service, independence, and especially, family.
His active duty as a navigation engineer on Air Force tankers let him serve his country, and also, travel the world with a crew of fellow United States servicemen he cherished.
He also ran a few businesses, as he loved his independence ‘indeed’. Dan’s Kitchen, and Dan’s Barbecue became mealtime faves near downtown Dallas in the 70s and 80s, with Dan as proprietor, you’d always have a happy ‘hello’, a bottomless cup of coffee, and some good ole ‘ribbing’ to boot.
Above all was his family, love of his life ‘Jen’, kids Susan, Sandy, Mike and Scott. And Dan’s “extended’ family, which included the notorious “Sunday Bunch” and friends from Calvary, good buddies Bob and Gordon Johnson, Bobby Churchill, Bob McDonough, AND all of “US” included. 😊
A service celebrating his life will be held at 2:00 PM, on Monday, November 30th, visitation 1:00 PM, at Restland-Memorial Chapel, 13005 Greenville Avenue, Dallas, Texas.
