David “Dave” J. Miller of West Milford passed away on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015. He was 31.
He was born in Livingston and was a lifelong resident of West Milford. Dave graduated from West Milford High School with the Class of 2003. From wood shop in high school forward, Dave’s passion in life was working with wood. He worked for JW Woodworking in West Milford for several years and most recently worked for DH Interiors in West Milford.
Dave loved all kinds of outdoor activities. Rollerblading, BMX bikes, snowboarding, knee-boarding, and hiking were all things he enjoyed.
David had a huge heart and always wanted to help others. With this in mind, he indicated on his driver’s license that he wanted to be an organ donor. David’s two kidneys and his liver were donated to others through the NJ Sharing Network and, as his mom said, “some of him lives on in others.”
Dave was the husband of Candice Miller and very proud of his three sons: Tyler, Jacob, and Adam. He loved them more than words can express. He was the son of Milena Miller of Asbury, and Gary Miller of West Milford; dear brother of Brian Miller and his wife Valerie of Scotch Plains; and grandson of Mary Miller of Hilton Head, South Carolina, and Marija Majcen of Slovania.
The family received friends on Friday, Nov. 13, at the Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, Wayne. A funeral Mass followed at St. Joseph RC Church, West Milford. Burial was in the church cemetery.
Memorial donations to the NJ Sharing Network would be greatly appreciated.
