2001 - 2024

This is in memory of our son Miles. He is forever 23. He passed unexpectedly on Nov 1, 2024 from UNDIAGNOSED colon cancer. Not a moment goes by that we don't think of you. Maci wanted me to tell you that you are the best big brother and she loves and misses you so much.

Losing you has been unbearable and something we don't understand. It feels like time has gone so fast and slow at the same time. It is so unreal to say you are no longer here with us. Everything reminds us of you. We talk to you all the time. We are always finding ways to celebrate you, remember you, and honor you. It's just easier to think about you being here with us.

We love you and miss you will all of our hearts and souls. We will continue to share your story and make sure they never forget you, that nobody forgets you. We will do our best to bring more awareness so that young people stop losing their life to undiagnosed colon cancer in such an unexpected way. We wish you were here more than anything in this world. We love you so much!

Love,
Mom, Dad, and Maci
