Stanley Robert Miles of Fruita,
CO, may have left us on March
27, 2013, but the seeds he planted
will be reminders for generations
to come.
Born on May 6, 1934, to Wallace
and Dorothy Miles, Stanley
at the tender age of 17, began a 12
year Military Career featuring
three separate tours serving in
both Korea and Vietnam Wars. This was the place he decided to focus
on his education.
During this time he married the love of his life, Lorraine Johnson.
They have one daughter, Leslie. After his military career, Stanley
went on to get his Masters Degree in Education and taught from
1968 - 1992. It was here that that the seeds of his legacy were
planted. As an educator he was an advocate of youth and an encourager
of "sticking with it". Many consider him the person that helped
mold and change the course of their life. As he leaves he asks that
everyone pick up where he left off and continue to plant seeds of encouragement
to youth.
In his retirement years Stanley enjoyed Roping. His love for animals
and horses allowed this to be his perfect retirement. He was
always the Header.
Stanley leaves behind to carry on his legacy, his lovely wife , Lorraine;
daughter and son-in law, Terry and Leslie Vice; grandchildren,
Hillary and Tyler; brothers, Bill (Jeanne) Miles, Gunnison,
CO, and Donald (Delores) Miles, Colorado Springs, Colorado. He
also has many nieces and nephews that gave him great joy. He is
preceded in death by his parents, Wallace and Dorothy Miles, and
brother, Jack Miles (Marilyn).
A Memorial Service will be held at Legacy Funeral Home, 762
