Melford June Miles

Melford J. Miles, known affectionately to many as June, was welcomed into the arms of his Heavenly Father on November 1, 2025. Born on September 30, 1936, in Mebane, North Carolina to the late Hughes Moore and the late Rosa Miles Haith.
At the early age of 7 years old, Deacon June Miles started singing in the Children's Choir at Miles Chapel Baptist Church in North Carolina. A quartet was formed when Deacon Miles was a teenager and he began singing with his cousins, the Miles Chapel Quartet. June went to Pleasant Grove Union High School and graduated in 1955. He relocated North to Connecticut and joined Union Baptist Church in Stamford, CT. June worked at Komar Furniture for several years, he then spent much of his life behind the wheel, navigating the roads of life as a driver for Dattco School, Peter Pan, and later FedEx in Stamford, CT, where he later retired. His work was a testament to his steadfast character, his love for his community, his unwavering commitment to service. In the words of St. Augustine, "Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others." June lived this truth, generously sharing his time, resources, and love with all those he encountered. He had a great zeal for the word of God. While a member at Union Baptist, June was ordained as a Deacon. Deacon Miles also formed The Spiritualistics of Stamford. After moving to Norwalk, CT he joined Calvary Baptist Church, where he was a member of the male chorus. God blessed Deacon Miles through the years for which he was so grateful.
At the heart of June's life were two constants: his unwavering faith in God and his deep love for his family. His dedication to his faith was the foundation from which his generosity and humility flowed.
