Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Miller, 43, of Rineyville, died along with Sgt. 1st Class Scott Carney, 37, of Ankeny, Iowa, when the Humvee they were riding in flipped Aug. 24 near Heart, according to officials at Fort Riley, Kan.

Linda Cook, a friend of Miller’s family, said Miller, who was originally from Ohio, is survived by his wife, Anne, and six children, ages 6 months to 13 years. Cook said Miller was a loving dedicated family man and friend who was known for his sense of humor, his love of coffee and his “MacGyver-like talent” for fixing anything and everything. Miller came home for a visit in June, Cook said.

Julie Siscoe, another family friend, said Miller “was an all-around gentle guy and an all-around soldier.” “He loved the Army and he loved serving his country,” she said. “There are not enough words to describe how good of a man he was.”

Wray Jean Carnes said she received a late-night phone call Sunday informing her that her son had been killed over the weekend. “They were on maneuvers, looking for [improvised explosive devices],” she said Aug. 27. “Then the enemy fired on his squad.”
