Dan was born Dec. 1, 1941, in Viola, Iowa, the son of Virgil and Dorothy (Newlin) Miller. Dan was a 1960 graduate of Anamosa High School. On June 1, 1963, Dan and Donna Huerter were united in marriage at St Patrick's Catholic Church in Anamosa. Dan worked for Rockwell Collins for 37 years. After retiring he went to work driving a Jets bus in Jones County.
He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Anamosa.
Community was very important to Dan and Donna. They could be found helping at most town and church events or working in the yard. Most treasured by Dan was his family and the time he was given to spend with them.
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend and will be missed dearly by those closest to him.
