Michael Miner Obituary
Michael was loved by many and respected by all. After retiring from his job from the State of Connecticut, he could always be found working on his farm with a warm wave and a big smile for all who passed by, along with his dog Lulu and his sidekick Jackson.
Michael leaves behind his wife Cindy; and three children, Janice (Jim) Tuttle, Jennifer (Duke) Preston and Justin Miner all of North Stonington; as well as stepdaughters, Michelle (Brad) Hurlbert of Warwick, Mass., and Melissa Georlach of Ocala, Fla.; grandchildren, Jenna Melzer (Tristan), Jocelyn and James Tuttle of North Stonington, Jordan and Jarred Hurlbert of Warwick, Maas.; one great-granddaughter Mila also of North Stonington. He leaves behind his three brothers, Bruce (Sheila) of Pawcatuck, Harold (Annette) of Mystic, and Ricky of Vermont. He was predeceased by his parents, Stewart and Norma Miner and Jack and Sally Sylvia who had passed the farm on to Michael.
A celebration of life will be held at the farm at a later date.

I am truly honored to have known Michael. His good heart was felt by every person that crossed his path. He was a husband, father, grandfather, farmer and dear friend to all... I lived on the farm for 8 years with Cindy and Michael and they became my family. We will miss you Michael. Such a beautiful soul~

Cindy and family, we are distant relatives from Tom Miner. We enjoyed joking with you and Mike about being cousins, 15 times removed. We had just delivered oil to your farm on 5/19. Lori and Mike had a pleasant chat, as always. Rob said, "He is the kindest man, and always a true gentleman." Our hearts are broken for you. If we can be of any assistance, please reach out. We will help in any way you may need us. May God bless you during this difficult time. Gentle hugs.

I remember Mike years ago when I lived in N.S. Drove school bus their for years. Police for about 18 Years. Many good times with everyone still get phone calls from many of the ages of Mike. God doesn't give us what we can handle; God helps us handle what we are given. Never forget the good people that you meet along the way. He loved his family and friends. God will help his family through the hard times. Just remember all the good times with him. Cindy God will help you through the sad times.
Always a friend

I always looked forward to seeing Mike when I visited my horse on their farm. Mike was kind, humble, knowledgeable, hard working and embodied all that is good. It always warmed my heart to see his eyes crinkle as he smiled while listening to Cindy tell a funny story.
Mike's spirit lives on at the farm, but he will truly be missed.
My sincerest condolences to Mike's beloved Cindy, his family and his protege Jackson.
