Miller, Dennis C.

Age 74 of Inver Grove Heights.

Passed away peacefully, at home surrounded by family, on October 24, 2021. Preceded in death by parents, Elaine and Carl. Survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Joyce; daughter, Amy Gustafson, her husband Jason and their children Abbie and Olivia; daughter, Kristi Berquist, her husband Michael and their children Makayla and Braeden; Son, Matt Miller, Erin Miller and their children Easton and Kellen. He also leaves behind many dear friends and family. Dennis worked as an accountant for Berger Transfer and Storage from 1988 – 2003. From 2003 – 2020 he was employed by Business Data Record Services. Dennis was happiest spending time with his family. They spent countless summer weekends together boating on the St. Croix River and camping on the Mississippi. Dennis and Joyce cherished their time spent on the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Islands in Florida. He enjoyed fishing adventures at Wollaston Lake Lodge in Northern Canada. He took pride in his carefully manicured lawn, tending to his ponds and giving the younger grandkids the occasional ride on his lawn tractor. The last couple of summers he simply enjoyed being outside. He spent lots of time in his MN Gopher chair, taking in the warm summer sun and visiting with everyone that stopped by. His winter months were busy. Dennis would often be found at a hockey rink, popcorn in hand, cheering on his grandkids. He rarely missed a game. He loved the MN State Fair, apple picking in the fall and hunting down the perfect Christmas tree each year, always with the entire family in tow. Dennis will be remembered as a family man. He was a loving and devoted husband, father and Papa. He was generous with his time, always willing to lend a hand and provide his skill and knowledge for everyone elses projects. His humor will never be forgotten. He knew the perfect comment at just the right time and would leave everyone laughing. His uncontrollable laughter was contagious. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. A visitation is scheduled from 4 – 7 PM on Tuesday, November 2 at Roberts Funeral and Cremation Chapel, 8108 Barbara Ave., Inver Grove Heights. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 11AM on Wednesday, November 3, with a brief visitation beginning at 10:30 AM, at St. Thomas Becket Catholic Church, 4455 South Robert Trail, Eagan.
