"Keven, you were always a great cousin! I remember being able to serve you at the VA. Assisting you with things you earned as a Veteran. You will be missed but am so glad that you are up and walking, fishing and enjoying seeing your Mom & Dad again. Say hi to my dear loved ones up there. ?"

Keven was born on June 17, 1959, in Ames to Donna Sparks and Roger Miller and grew up in Cambridge, Iowa. After high school, Keven enlisted in the Army and served stateside for four years, four months, and four days as a signal clerk.
Keven was always an entrepreneur, running a construction business (Miller Roofing) and a tree business (Lumberjacks). He enjoyed arts and crafting, restoring antiques, and fishing and hunting with family. He also loved collecting antiques, including many Native American items. He drove several cool cars during his life, including his first car, a 1969 Road Runner. Keven was an avid supporter of marijuana legalization, and hoped it would become legal in Iowa and nationwide during his children's lifetimes.
Keven is survived by three sons, Kory, Dustin (Rachael), and Deven (Grace); eight grandchildren; brother, Kenny (Amy) Miller; two sisters, Brenda (David) Mittlestadt, and Melanie (Nathan) Samples; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father and mother.

"You honored Keven well with that obit. You served him well the past few years. What a trooper Kev was!! I love how positive he was typically despite his struggles. Many of us could fall into the poor me camp but Kev wasn't like that at all. He truly lived life fully. He had a tender, appreciative heart. I will miss him but so Im happy he accepted Christ as his Savior Pam"
