Obituary
On September 23, 1936, Percy Myles, Jr., was born to the late Percy James Myles, Sr., and Mary Myles in Edwards, Mississippi of Hinds County.
His great Grandmother Edna Edwards who instilled in him the love of the land and family values reared him. He was baptized at Cherry Grove Church at an early age and also attended Cherry Grove School.
In 1956, Percy moved to Los Angeles, California. He returned back to Edwards, Mississippi and married his childhood sweetheart, MS Earnestine Irving, to this union five girls were born. Percy and his family moved back to California and then to Indianapolis, Indiana where he worked at Wonder Bread Bakery until he returned back to Edwards, Mississippi in 1975. Percy rededicated his life to Christ and joined the Cherry Grove M.B. Church.
In 1982, Percy married the love of his life (His Squaw) Pearl Montgomery and to this union one daughter was born. Percy was ordained as a Deacon of Cherry Grove Church and also served as Treasurer until his health failed him.
Percy retired from Hinds County Public Works after seventeen years of faithful service as a truck driver.
He was preceded in death by his brother; Kay-Arthur Myles. On Sunday, April 26, 2015, the Lord sent a Glorified Messenger to Central Mississippi Hospital with orders to release his soul from its body racked with pain and agony, and caused him to sleep, which only God knows the awakening.
Those who will always celebrate his life and legacy are: a loving and devoted wife of 32 years Perl Montgomery Myles; seven daughters, Janet Myles Love (Tommie) of Indianapolis, IN, Lillian Myles Vaughn (Lynn) of Las Vegas, NV, Linda Myles of Indianapolis, IN, Jane Myles-Pruitt (Stanley) of Chicago, IL, Renita Myles-Lee (Harold) of Edwards, MS, Shelia Myles-Clanton (Lawrence) of Indianapolis, IN , and Julie Myles and a special Kinard Wyatt of Edward, MS; one son, Tyrone Walker (Dora Brown); six siblings, Rosie Mae Hine of Jackson, MS, Irena Caston (Willie) of Edwards, MS, Mary Myles, Rosie Turner of Indianapolis, IN, Cleotha Myles and Cora Myles of Edwards, MS; thirteen grandchildren and twenty-one great grandchildren and other family and friends.
