David Miles, 73, of Parma, Ohio, passed away on October 15, 2025. He was born on August 19, 1952, to the late Elizabeth and Lawrence Miles.
He is survived by Marsha, his beloved wife of 55 years, whose partnership was the cornerstone of his life. Together they raised three children: Eric D. (Madalina) Miles, Laura A. (Wayne) Koran, and Kristen K. Bowden, who carry forward his legacy of love and integrity. David was a proud grandfather to Sophia and Oliver, whose laughter and curiosity brought him endless joy.
David was one of twelve siblings: George, Joanne, Judy, Jerry, Pamela, William, Todd, and Michael, and was preceded in death by Donald, Raymond, and Diane. He also leaves behind a wide circle of nieces, nephews, cousins, and cherished friends.
A carpenter by trade, David was known for his intelligence, skill, and mentorship. He was highly adept at solving problems, approached every project with precision, and every relationship with warmth and sincerity.
