Help Cover Funeral Costs and Living Expenses
Donation protected
We unexpectedly lost my husband on the 15th of April. In addition to losing the husband, step father and grandfather that we loved, we were unprepared for the added financial blow (I’m on SS). I’m just looking to cover the funeral/memorial expenses plus help covering living expenses for a few months until I can figure out what my life is going to look like moving forward. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Charles Edwin Miller, aged 67, passed away on April 15, 2025, in Spokane, Washington with his wife and dear friends Steve and Cheryl by his side. Born on January 4, 1958, in Stuttgart Arkansas, Charles, affectionately known as Smiley, was renowned for his kindhearted and generous nature. His ability to recount tales from his life brought great joy and laughter to those around him.
Charles had a distinguished 49-year career in the farming industry, dedicating the last 19 years to Steve Krupke Farms JV in Reardan, WA. His mechanical prowess was well-known, with an innate ability to fix virtually anything that came his way.
Outside of work, Charles was passionate about hunting, fishing, and gardening. He cherished the time spent in the garden with his grandson, Jaxon, who admired him greatly. A fan of classic western movies and rock music, Charles recently discovered a love for cooking, especially while caring for his wife, Tricia. He also enjoyed riding with his good friend, Jim, creating memories that will be cherished by all who knew him.
Charles is survived by his wife, Tricia; son, Jason Miller; stepdaughters, Angela Brown (Dan) and Stephanie Henley; sister, Betty (Todd); four step-grandchildren; two step-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, great nephews, and cousins. He also leaves behind dear friends Steve & Cheryl Krupke, James Hendrix, and Jim and Della Mann. He was preceded in death by his father, Herman; mother, Marie; brothers, Jimmy Dale and Robert; and son, Timothy Miller.
A service to celebrate Charles’s life will be held on May 10, 2025, at 1:00 pm at Reardan Bible Fellowship, located at 155 S Oak Street, Reardan, Washington.
