Obituary:

Dennis Miller, 80, passed peacefully at Essentia Hospital in Fargo on Saturday, February 8, 2025.

   Dennis Duane Miller was born November 14, 1944 in Fargo, ND to Sylvester and Frances (Quiggle) Miller and raised in Fargo. He graduated from Shanley High School. Denny started at Union Storage and Transfer the day after graduation in 1962. He went on a blind date on December 1st, 1962. Denny ended up falling for his cousin’s date and on December 7th, 1962 he went on an official date with Sharon Johnson. On April 4, 1964, they were united in marriage. Denny continued to work at Union Storage until 1979 when he studied and took the U.S. Postal test. He worked at the U.S.P.S. from 1979-2013.

   Denny loved bowling and was on numerous leagues. He enjoyed watching Vikings and Bison football, golf and basketball. He loved baking, cooking, reading, playing cards and games. He enjoyed his sister’s annual pool party. When he was young, he would mow lawns to purchase movie tickets. That love for movies followed him his whole life. Denny and Sharon continued that passion as volunteers for the Fargo Film Festival. They enjoyed traveling and visited Hawaii multiple times, the Scandinavian capitals and many parts of the U.S. and Canada.

   Denny enjoyed life and never took what he had for granted. He was kind, generous, spiritual and very funny. He loved with a huge heart and everyone who knew him felt that. Their house was always warm, inviting and available. Denny always let you know you were seen.

   Denny is survived by his wife Sharon, his daughter Suzi (Terry) Hansen of West Fargo, his son Richard “Rick” (Denise) Miller of Edmond, OK, his daughter Kari (Jeff) Arntson of Maple Grove, MN, and his son Steve (Linda) Miller of Fargo. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, a sister, Sharon Mueller of Monticello, MN, brother-in-law John Sinner of Fargo, and many nieces and nephews, other family, and multiple friends.

   He is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Mary Jane Miller, his brother Dale (Sharon) Miller, his brother-in-law Bob Mueller, his sister Carol Sinner, his grandson Brendan and his nephew John Sinner.
