David Lunn Miller, 70, died October 14 in Huntsville, Alabama. Born January 3, 1951, he was introduced to the organ at age three while spending time with his father, a pastor, in his church, studying the instrument in his youth in Kansas City. He received his undergraduate degree at Southern Nazarene University, Bethany, Oklahoma, his master’s degree at Westminster Choir College, Princeton, New Jersey, and his doctorate at University of Missouri, Kansas City, in both choral conducting and organ. Early in his career he was a part-time music director and then professor of music and organ at Nazarene colleges. He transitioned to full-time director of music ministries and church organist positions, most recently at Huntsville First United Methodist Church as the director of music ministries and organist from 2005 until his retirement in 2018.
