Nashville’s WSMV-TV anchor Dan Miller passed away Wednesday night unexpectedly from a heart attack at the age of 67.  Miller was in his hometown of Augusta, Georgia, for the Masters golf tournament.

Miller was in Augusta for the Masters Golf Tournament and was accompanied on the trip by longtime colleagues and friends Rudy Kalis and Terry Bulger. He was apparently walking through his old neighborhood with Kalis when he became short of breath.

Miller had been with WMNV Nashville (channel 4) since 1969. A career spanning over four decades in the Music City.  He did briefly leave the station from 1986 to 1994 to work at a station in Los Angeles and for a short time as Pat Sajak’s sidekick on his short lived talk show.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Miller’s family and friends.
