Miles Pearson Obituary

Colorado native, Miles J. Pearson, passed away on May 19, 2005 at a local hospice. Born in Colorado Springs on February 12, 1938 to Opal Dean and Ruth E. Allbright Pearson, Miles graduated from high school in Rangley, CO in 1956. Miles met Janice Powers in Dillon, CO and they got married on Christmas Day 1959. Miles' strong desire to please God led him to be baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on July 16, 1964 in Pocatello, ID; he served as a Regular Pioneer for eight years and served as an elder from 1984 to 2003. Miles is survived by his wife, Janice, three daughters: Toni and Sabrina Pearson of Colorado Springs and Telina Pullman of Crawford, CO; sister, ZaDean Auyer of Caldwell, ID; three granddaughters and many friends who all look forward to seeing him again in Jehovah's new system. Miles was preceded in death by his parents and two children. Memorial services have been scheduled for May 30th at 2:00 p.m. at the Falcon Congregation Kingdom Hall, 4355 Los Ranchitos Dr., Peyton, CO.

My brother, Joe and I can both say we never heard Miles say a cross word. We had the privilege of living across the street from the Pearsons during many of our growing up years and what a blessing the whole Pearson family has been to us.



Joe said that Miles often teased him and gave him a hard time, and he was sure it was because Miles didn't want him dating any of his sweet daughters!



From all of the Brown family, Larry, Margaret, Joe, Lisa, Marti our deepest sympathies to the entire Pearson family. Miles' sense of humor and his unending kindness will be sorely missed.



Our Blessings,

The Brown Family

In our 45 years together, Miles and I had our ups and downs, spats and downright disagreements, but he was always there when I - anyone in our families or any of our friends - needed him. He had a presence that filled any space he inhabited, which drew people to him. He was a zealous servant of Jehovah God and he took the responsibility of being a god-fearing husband and father very seriously. Since his death, many of our friends and family have told me that his integrity and faithfulness right to the end has been an inspiration to them because they want to be in paradise to welcome him to Jehovah's new system.



I will miss you more than I can say, and I cannot wait to see you again! Love, Jan

I miss you "little" brother. We had great times growing up and living in Guffey, Canyon City, Fraiser, Kremmling, Laramie, Rangley and Moab, UT and in college at Colorado State. We lived a long way apart as adults and didn't get together often but I knew you were always there.
Thanks!

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing you all my life, but for the time we did have, it was an honor. You have gone to heaven now and are undoubtedly enjoying a great reunion. You will be missed here on earth. Our loss is God's gain.

Dad was a wonderful father and grandfather. He loved his children and grandchildren. He was very active in the lives of his grandchildren. He went many times with two of his granddaughter to the daddy daughter dance. He made them feel very special. When I told him I was going to move down to Arizona he said good idea if that is something you need to do do it. I will go off to Arizona knowing that my dad is supporting me 110%. I will miss him but am glad he is out of the pain he was in.

Though we have just recently become a fixture in Miles' extended family, he accepted us as such - family. We cannot express our sadness at such a loss to such a man who was loved so much by his family and friend. You will be missed.

It will be so sad not to have Miles around. He was such pillar of strength not only to his family, but his friends. This was the same strength that kept his family from seeing the tremendous amount of pain that he was going through these last horrible months; yet, this was Miles. He always was the type of person to let you know exactly what he wanted you to know and when he wanted you to know it. At least he is in a peaceful place knowing not what is happening to him or around him and his family in this these hardened times. Until the time comes when he sees his loving family once again, he will be missed tremendously.

Miles J. Pearson was a great man. He put joy in every body at the Kindom Hall. Even tho he was my grandpa he shared thaings with me.

Dad was a very special man. He had a wicked, irreverent sense of humor that he used mercilessly on those he loved. He was the type of man everyone loved and would give their lives for without a second thought. My uncle said, "He was a character," to which I responded, "And that was a compliment or the nicest thing you could think of to say about him at that moment!" As evidenced by the number of visitors he had during his last week, he was very much loved and will be sorely missed!
