MIDDLETON - Michael (Mike) John Miles, age 69, passed away unexpectedly on April 22, 2025, at UW Hospital. He was born on August 7, 1955, in Reedsburg, Wis., to John and Delores (Timbers) Miles.

Mike married his high school sweetheart, Penny Holmes in 1977. They settled into the Verona area where they raised their two sons, Aaron and Shannon. He spent his career in the banking industry, having left Cuna Mutual in 2016, followed by an enjoyable and relaxing retirement alongside Penny in Middleton, Wis.

As a dad, Mike loved nothing more than watching his boys play sports. When not coaching, he was often spotted on the sidelines snapping photos and cheering them on enthusiastically! He was a lifelong golfer, enjoyed rooting for all Wisconsin-based sports teams and watching his grandchildren’s activities.

Mike was well known for his love of family, quick smile, and infectious laugh. He was a friend to everyone and was kindhearted and welcoming to all.

Mike is survived by his wife, Penny; sons, Aaron (Stephanie) and Shannon (Katie); grandchildren, Jack, Aiden, Lillie, Charley, Sloane and Crew; and sister, Patti Pape; as well as many other loving relatives and friends.
