Jeffery V

Miles

Jeffery Vincent Miles (62) was born on April 28, 1964, in San Jose, California, to George and Judith (Garn) Miles. Although born in California, Jeff spent his entire life in Toledo, Ohio, where he built a lifetime of memories, friendships, and family.

Jeff worked as both a welder and caregiver throughout his life. He was a man who found joy in the things he loved most: family, friends, music, racing, football, and time spent outdoors.

An avid sports and racing fan, Jeff proudly cheered for his beloved Cleveland Browns and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He was also a devoted NASCAR fan and enjoyed heading to Toledo Speedway to take in just about any race. Whether watching his favorite drivers on television or enjoying the excitement of a race in person, Jeff loved the thrill of the track.

Music was another big part of Jeff's life. He was always ready to turn an ordinary moment into a karaoke night, bringing music, laughter, and entertainment to those around him. He knew how to enjoy the moment and make memories along the way.

Some of Jeff's most treasured times were spent outdoors camping and fishing with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He loved sharing good food, telling stories, enjoying the outdoors, and simply spending time together. Those moments, both big and small, created memories his family will cherish for years to come.

Jeff is survived by his daughter, Desiree (John) Pryor; his son, Martin (Shelby) Miles; his sister, Teresa Roland; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and many dear friends who will miss him deeply.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Judith Miles; his brother, Dennis Miles; and his sisters, Cheryl Miles and Cynthia Shaner.

Jeff's passing leaves a void in the lives of his family and the many friends who knew and loved him. He will be remembered through the music he shared, the races he watched, the football teams he cheered for, and the countless memories made around campfires, fishing spots, and family gatherings.

A celebration of life is being planned, and details will be announced at a later date.

Though he may be gone, the memories, laughter, and love he leaves behind will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
