With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our son, brother, and friend, Miles Plarisan, on 1/24/17. He is no longer bound by the chains of addiction; his spirit is free to soar. 

Miles was a brilliant soul who never truly felt free to shine.  Music was his calling and written words were his language. Vulnerable and playful, insatiably curious and mostly longing, Miles was always longing.

Miles faced an unbreakable struggle with drug addiction and was forced to live with this burden for years. Through the struggle and pain, Miles found the strength to shine for others. He listened when no one else would; he helped when no one else could. Unconditionally, he shared his love. He treated children like equals with patience and pure enjoyment because it gave him freedom, a chance to be a kid again.

We know many of you have been touched by addiction and depression in one way or another. We only hope that Miles' passing will give a bright future to someone engulfed in the addiction spiral and that our grief can help others battling this incomprehensible battle. 

We ask that you please make a donation in Miles' name to help those suffering with addiction. Your donation will go to Pathways Recovery in Roseville, CA to help someone in need of a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. (www.pathwaysrecovery.com)

Everyone who knew Miles knows that his heart was full of love for others and would be there for those in need.
Your support, whether it be in the form of words of kindness or contributing to the fund, is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We love and miss you Miles.

"I think of how strong people like you will never die.
People like you don't just disappear.
They don't vanish.
They don't give up.
People like you last forever."
