Not sure what to say?

Pastor Miles... so sad that I didn't know that he had passed. But as I sit and listen to a song now at the top of the Christian music charts, I think of Ty.... at one time what we now call BFF best friend forever ... Ty taught me what this song "ONLY JESUS" meant in 1981 as I was attending Concordia College and he was in the throws of a super challenging time in his and his family's life. We both agreed to live lives where if people only remembered Jesus Christ, and didn't remember us,...

Our friendship slowed when he went off to high school at Concordia Milwaukee but we stayed in touch for another 65 years. Good friendships don't die easily. Rest in peace.

Pastor Miles touched my life as a member of his church at Zion and while I worked with him at Zion when I was the sexton there in the 70's.
Now he has the crown of Jewels he so often spoke about to me. R.I.P. peace......

A man well loved, who will be well missed. Kristi and Dan Fahsholz

Pastor Miles showed Jesus' love to so many who entered Zion's church doors while he was there. All were welcome. When I saw Pastor Miles, I saw Jesus love shine through him.
Our Moms in Prayer group always felt welcome at Zion.

I am truely blessed to have met Pastor Miles through his loving son Dave, you both welcomed our family with open arms. We will love you and miss you always. Thank you for welcoming my family into your family

Pastor Miles had a huge impact on my life, from the time I was about 12 he guided me told me I was destined to do great things and I have lived my life striving to do the great things he saw in me. I hope I have lived up to his expectations and I am so grateful for knowing him. I am so sorry to the family for their loss. I send blessing to you all and thanks for sharing him with all of his congregations all these years.

We feel so blessed for having known Pastor Miles. Pastor married us in Nov.of 1977. Baptized both our children and was a wonderful counselor and guide through the years. We will miss his energy and grace.

With love and prayers,
