Oscar C. Myles

With heavy hearts, yet a deep sense of gratitude for a life well-lived, we announce the passing of Oscar C. Myles, a dedicated, funny, humble and loving soul, on August 22, 2025. Born on August 12, 1938, in Marianna, Arkansas, Oscar lived a vibrant life that spanned 87 years - years filled with love, laughter and remarkable dedication to his family.

Oscar was a man of many talents, a machinist by trade, employed in the wiring business before his retirement. Yet, his greatest pride and joy were his family. He was a loving husband, a devoted father, and a doting grandfather and great-grandfather. He gave a decade of his life to the daily care of his beloved wife, Melba, while she was in a nursing home, showcasing an extraordinary level of dedication and love. Oscar's warm, funny, and humble nature made him a favorite among family and friends. He was always ready with an amusing story, a cheerful laugh, and a kind word. His brother and best friend, James, was a significant part of his life, and they spent countless hours together in their later years.

Oscar's legacy will continue to live on through his children: Lasonya Hall, Loretta Algarin, Michael Myles, Shawn Myles, Oscar Myles Jr., Elizabeth Graham, and Felicia Myles. He is also survived by his siblings- Aliza Higgins, Pearl Kilbrew, Maddie Howard, Jessie Myles and George Scott. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Henrietta (Myles) Scott, his wife, Melba Myles, and his brother, James.
