On July 21, 1962, he married Carol L. Anderson at Salem Lutheran Church. Following their marriage, David served our country in the U.S. Army where he was stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. David farmed for several years south of Albert Lea, and then for the past 35 years had done carpentry. He had been a member of Round Prairie Lutheran Church for more than 51 years, and was currently a member of Central Freeborn Lutheran Church. In addition to spending time and doing projects with his sons, he enjoyed doing yard work, golfing and spending winters in Arizona. David will be missed by his family, wife Carol, sons, Michael (Julie) Miller and Douglas Miller all of Albert Lea; two grandchildren: Troy (Laura) Biesterfeld and their daughter Lucy of Rochester, and Trisha (Bob) Iverson of Clarks Grove; brother Berdell (Vernell) Miller of Freeborn, MN, sister Barb Stensrud of Wells, and brother-in-law Les (Ann) Anderson of Harmony, and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother-in-law, Ken Stensrud. The memories of David and his great sense of humor will forever put smiles on our hearts.
