Miles Lawrence Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 13, 2020.
Miles Edward Lawrence went to Jesus on April, 9, 2020. He was ready to hear, "Well done thou Good and Faithful servant."

Miles was born on November 28, 1941, to Gladys Elaine Lynch Lawrence and Miles Rudolphus Lawrence. He had a full life married to Nancy for 45 years. Miles was a servant of God, a loving husband, and a wise father. He spent many years at INL as a manager and engineer with two patents. He was an inventor, mechanic, fisherman, hunter, traveler, outdoorsman, gold miner, and he also rebuilt most of his home.

Miles served in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot, graduating 8th of 300 in his class. After he returned home, he was a flight instructor. When going to Vietnam, he asked God, "Lord, I want to return as strong of a Christian as I am going over." He did not get a single hole in his helicopter.

Miles is survived by his current wife, Martie, and his children Dan (Kamela) Lawrence, Erin (Brock) Hastings, Brice (Karen) Dyal, and Erik (Tammie) Dyal. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Kristin, Kelli, and Kari Lawrence; Chase and Parker Liberty; and Ashlin, Hal, Alex, Bartholomew, Sam, Abbigail, Amelia, Amanda, and Jared of the Dyal family. Miles is also survived by his sister-in-law, Judi Baldwin, and her son, David, and family; his sister's family: Rick Brundage, Kathy Kyllonen, Ramona Douglas, and Gwen Wellington; and cousins Molly & Dale Hannon and family.

What a blessing it was for you guys to come visit and what fun we had. Talking, but never getting finished and doing our day trip to Zion National Park. I'll always remember Miles big bear hug when we first met. Truly you got a gem of a man for a husband, and his knowledge of God's Word was very quieting for me. Let your memories carry you through this rough trail until you meet again face to face.

I only got to meet Miles one time, and he was pretty quiet...I do know that He and Marty loved each other with all they had in them. I am so grateful that we will all meet in heaven one day, and i will get to know him better. My prayers are with Marty today, and always as she moved from one journey to the next. God's blessings for new adventures ahead. With Love. Nan

As a husband he was perfect. He was caring for all who asked. I cherish my eleven years with him. He made me laugh every day. Miss him forever.
