David A. Miller

David Allen Miller, of Rockford, passed away suddenly on October 24, 2026, at UW Swedish American Hospital. He was born on February 13, 1944, in Melrose Park, IL; the son of Bert and Dorothy Miller. He met and married Rita Untz in Phoenix, Arizona. He worked for IBM as a computer analyst for 21 years before retiring.

When David was younger, he was an active member of the Jaycees (JC’s). He was a man of the Jewish faith. David had a passion for bowling and participated in numerous leagues over the years, earning many trophies along the way. He also enjoyed working on Sudoku puzzles, sharing his infamous “Dad Jokes,” going to the movies, and dining out with his beloved wife, Rita.

David was a kind and generous man who never had an unkind word to say about anyone. He was patient, accepting, and welcoming of others. He was always willing to help and had a knack for making others feel comfortable and valued. If you ever had a question about computers or math, David was the person to turn to. He will be remembered for his gentle nature, generous spirit, and the many ways he touched the lives of those around him.
