LOVELAND, OH — The community of Loveland is remembering and mourning the profound loss of David Miller, founder of Loveland Magazine and a steadfast voice for local journalism, who passed away at the age of 76. His passing marks the end of an era for a man who spent more than 20 years shaping the way Loveland saw itself — through thoughtful reporting, tireless advocacy, and deep community care.
Miller, who launched Loveland Magazine with a vision to provide a platform for residents to stay informed and engaged, quickly became a cornerstone of the city’s civic life. Through his reporting, he highlighted not only local events and government activity but also the everyday triumphs and concerns of Loveland’s citizens. His presence behind the camera and keyboard was as familiar as it was trusted.
More than a journalist, Miller served as a mentor and inspiration to many young photojournalists and writers, sharing both technical skills and a deep sense of purpose in storytelling. He was also a vocal advocate for environmental issues, often using his platform to bring attention to conservation and sustainability efforts within the region.
His contributions reached far beyond newsprint. David Miller helped foster dialogue, accountability, and connection in a growing town, and his loss leaves a void that will be deeply felt by colleagues, readers, and residents alike.
A memorial service was held to celebrate his life and honor his legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to the Loveland LIFE Food Pantry — a cause close to Miller’s heart, reflective of his commitment to community support and care.
David Miller leaves behind not just stories, but a legacy of truth, mentorship, and unwavering love for the place he called home.
