Obituary of Archie Miles
Please share a memory of Archie to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Archie Lee Miles, age 76, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2008. He is preceded in death by his parents, Walter & Suzanna Miles, and loving wife of over 53 years, Maruth Miles, and son, Douglas Miles. He is survived by his son, Michael Miles & his wife, Dorinda; daughters, Susan Stevens, Mary Tunstall & her husband, Tommy, and Rosey Wilson; sisters, Kathleen Liles & her husband, Grady, and Christine Evans; grandchildren, Katherine Doan, Jason Honea, Christina Tunstall, Kailey Miles, and Rachel Miles; and great-grandson, Austin Doan; and a host of other family and friends.
Archie was born on April 6, 1932, in Hyham, South Carolina. He resided in the Houston area from more than fifty-nine years and proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force. Archie was a soft spoken and caring husband, father, grand and great-grandfather. He enjoyed telling stories, had a great sense of humor, and was loved by all who knew him. Being a good provider for his family was very important to Archie and he would always put them first. Even in Archie’s later years, while taking care of Maruth during her illness, he was more concerned for her needs than his own. He was a successful business owner and managed three service stations at one time. He also owned AAA Rentals in Pearland for over thirty-five years. Archie always made time for his family for vacations or family get-togethers. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
A Celebration of Archie’s Life will be held on Saturday, December 6, 2008, at 3:00 pm in the Clayton Funeral Home Chapel. Pastor Keith Anderson of New Harvest Christian Fellowship will be officiating. To send condolences, please visit www.claytonfuneralhomes.com.
