Miles Russell Bublik was born in Berwyn, Illinois, on August 22, 1958, to Delores Knally and Russell Bublik. Miles grew up in the suburbs of Chicago with his siblings before moving to Phoenix, Arizona, in 1974. He graduated from Chaparral High School in Scottsdale after playing two years of varsity baseball for his favorite coach, Jerry Dawson. He began attending Mesa Community College while continuing to play baseball. Miles completed an apprenticeship with Local Union 469 to become a pipefitter/plumber. From there, he began working on building and maintaining power plants around the US. In 1981, he married Terry Lynn Lovett and had a son, Tyler, and a daughter, Jordan. Miles worked for the City of Scottsdale for over 20 years as a plumber while also running his own plumbing business, and retired in 2020.
Outside of work, he was a dedicated father, attending all his children's school and sports activities; he even coached baseball and softball not only for his own children's teams but also for Cocopah Middle School. Miles loved spending time with family, friends, and his two dogs, Jake and Stuey. He especially loved traveling, and often spent summers with his family in San Clemente, California. Following his retirement, Miles most enjoyed spending time with his two grandsons, Holden and Julien, and helping his children with home improvement projects.
