IRISH SWEETHEART RLGF 2 DEADLIEST CATCHD...'s blog: "Prayers Needed"

Otho Dale Miller, 18-year-old son of Monte D. and Kay Miller was mercilessly taken from family, friends and loved ones by some of the ugliest predators on earth. It is the evil that is lurking in the black darkness of another human being that lives within our society. Given to us on Nov. 7, 1988, in Twin Falls, Idaho, he shared this date with a highly respected uncle and godfather. Dale grew up on a farm east of Jerome where he learned to love, care and respect life. He attended Jefferson Elementary, where by third grade he was helping teachers with computer problems. Dale moved on to Central Elementary and Jerome Junior High, becoming associated with music through choir, band and learning piano. He supported many friends through sports and became an active member in 4-H for seven years. He was in Hallisey and Life-Teen at his church during his high school years. In 2002, he moved to Twin Falls, attending O'Leary and Twin Falls High School, where he was an honor student. His passion returned to computer, and he was always being called upon to help with computer difficulties. He never hesitated to help and never charged. Dale was recognized by the "Who's Who Among High School Students" for three consecutive years. He received numerous mailings from colleges across the United States and graduated early by testing courses through the Internet, which he accomplished in six short weeks. He chose to continue his education while staying close to home by attending CSI. After falling to pressures of being young in an overly adult world, Dale never lost sight of the love and support he was given by family and friends. He was always giving of himself shortchanging his own wants and needs. Dale is survived by his father, Monte Miller of Jerome; mother, Kay Miller of Twin Falls; one brother; one sister; grandparents, Bill and Peg Lemmons of Buhl, and Paul J. Miller of Brogan, Ore.; one niece; one nephew; a great-grandmother; uncles; aunt; cousin; loved ones and friends too numerous to mention. He was preceded in passing by one grandmother, one uncle and one cousin. We have lost a treasured light, but his memory will never be put out. He will shine forever. A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Buhl. A rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the church. Funeral services are under the direction of Farmer Funeral Chapel of Buhl. If you wish to send donations instead of flowers, please send them to the Buhl Animal Shelter for the adoption of homeless animals in remembrance of Dale.
