Obituary
MAZOMANIE - On Aug. 26, 2020, Gy Michael Miley aka Jazzi Gaafe passed away at the age of 62. Gy was born on Dec. 4, 1957, in Plymouth, Wis. Gy was preceded in death by his parents, David and Anna Mae (Joa) Miley. Gy is survived by first wife, Nancy Bittner; daughter, Tara A. Miley (Chris Rogers); and son, Thad F. (Jessica) Miley. Gy is also survived by second wife, Angela "Susie" Miley; sons Christopher (Krystal) Brandenburg and Jeffery Trejo (Lauren Robinson); along with six grandchildren; three sisters, Kabira Miley, Maggie Miley and Bea Miley; two brothers; Jeffery Miley and David Miley; as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends.
Gy was known as Jazzi, Moppi, Dad, Uncle and probably several others. A true lover of coffee, you would often find Jazzi people-watching from one of the coffee shops in downtown Madison. Gy was into coffee before coffee was trendy and the Miley children were making espresso and foaming milk as soon as they were tall enough to reach the counter. As an engineer, Gy traveled the world and had many stories to share about those adventures. Anyone will tell you that life was always an adventure with Moppi, Gy, Dad, or Jazzi. It was a life of motorcycle riding, camping, creativity, nature, and learning. It was a beautiful life building community in Madison, while living on the river in Mazomanie with Susie.

I have heard over the years to be absent in the physical, is to be present in the Universe. My life and heart has been blessed to meet such a great man. The impression of energy, positivity, funny and challenging times have forever made an imprint on and in my soul. Like you would say, "Whatever is whatever." Always in my heart and thoughts you will be Gy. Forever. -Cam

For the love of my life, we have had ups and downs together for 28 years. I will miss you every day until we meet again. Your life was full of adventure, 4 kids and 2 wives. You traveled all over the world and created amazing things. You will be loved forever in my mind. God Bless you, rest my love. I will see you again.

I met You and Susie on a winter's day in a coffee shop on the East Side of Madison. We ended up talking for a couple of hours. My friendship grew on a personal and. spiritual level with you both. I remember coming and cooking for you in your home and by the river. Leisure afternoons walking your lands, the adventure of cleaning the trailer and just being good caring friends. You were kind, gentle and caring person, in my life and so many others. I am saddened by your departure, buy I know you are free now. We will meet again somewhere in the future, I will rejoice when that happens.
Miss you and Love you my Dear Friend.
Mindfully and Respectfully,
Marcus O.
