Dakota Wyatt Miller-Ratliff

On January 12, 2023 Dakota was united in marriage to Ashley (Brocker) in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Dakota was a loving, devoted husband, father, son, brother and friend who lived his life to the fullest and was known to be a jokester. He loved to have a good time hanging with his friends, but also enjoyed precious time spent with his family, especially his wife and kids. Dakota worked hard and was employed as a truck driver, but he also played hard, spending time fishing, hunting, hanging out at a bonfire or just being outdoors. He was a talented guy who loved to fix things, especially rebuilding cars or anything else that needed fixing.
