John E. Miles

November 28, 1956 - March 16, 2025

John E. Miles, 68, of Fairdale, Kentucky, passed away on March 16, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and quiet strength.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia, and loving daughter, Jennifer (Chris), as well as his siblings: Robert (Valerie), Mary (Timothy), Raymund (Nancy), James (Jennifer), and Joseph (Bridget). He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Lillian Miles.

John began working at LG&E in 1979. He worked at the Mill Creek Station until 2015 and officially retired in 2021. Outside of work, John was a man of simple pleasures. He found joy in his long daily walks, fishing and camping trips, and time spent tinkering and creating in his garage.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
