Donald Keith Miller
June 1, 1944 — June 14, 2022
Donald “Don” K. Miller, age 78, passed away on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, at his home in Bristol, VA.
Don was born in Marion, VA on June 1, 1944, to the late Clifford L. Miller and Kate Lovern Miller.
Don retired from a long career at Combined Insurance where he made lifelong friends who were as close as family. He was a member of Central Presbyterian Church in Bristol. Don was also a veteran who served his country in the Army Reserves.
Along with his parents, Don is preceded in death by his brother William “Bill” C. Miller.
He is survived by his dedicated wife of 58 years, Brenda; his daughter Jennifer Miller Fesmire and son-in-law David; his grandsons Nathan, Michael (Caitlin), Kyle, Jeremy (Jenna) and great grandson Elijah. He is also survived by his sister Betty J. Robinette (Glen); his brother Hunter L. Miller (Mary); his sister-in-law Barbara Miller; many nieces and nephews, friends, neighbors, and tenants.
Don was a natural born caretaker who loved his family, sacrificing everything to make sure they were taken care of up until his very last breath. He had a heart for helping others and would give the shirt off his back to help a friend or someone else in need. He could never say no; never met a stranger; and loved people. He was a caring landlord who truly loved his tenants and went above and beyond to make sure they knew it.
While Don will be greatly missed by so many here on earth, heaven is now shining even brighter. We know Don is there doing what he does best, helping to prepare the most special place for the rest of us. In some of his last words – “God is great. God is good. And you can’t tell me no different!”
