Miles Darius Firkins, Jr.
June 15, 1953 ~ December 31, 2020
Miles Darius Firkins, Jr. 67, Born-June 15,1953. Jr was a loving husband, father, grandpa, son, brother & uncle. He passed peacefully in his home with his wife, mother, children & siblings by his bedside, ushering him into Heaven on 12/31/20.
He was a ‘71 graduate of Decatur Central High School.
As a master craftsman, avid golfer and snow skier, he was a natural talent in any sport or task he pursued. He maintained a lifetime career of being an innovative builder that started at the age of 14 that later developed into Firkins Construction.
Jr will be remembered mostly by his kind and loving character, always displaying an elaborate sense of humor with a never ending smile on his face. He was compassionate and giving and a stranger to no one. He made friends wherever he went. He always put his generosity before his prosperity. He lived richly with an abundance of love and will be dearly missed.
Miles is survived by his wife Karen, his children Jessica, Miles Levi and Lucas, his grand children- Maverick and Mila, his mother Dolores and siblings- Brother Terry, brother Nathan (Susan), sister Valerie Gordon (Scott), sister Kelly Lannan (John) and several nieces & nephews.
We will be celebrating his home-going with immediate family, but are planning a celebration of life later next summer.

Love and condolences from Evan G. Can’t believe he has passed. I learned so much from him over the years I worked for him – and laugh about all of the good times with the crew. Prayers for all.
Never forget sitting around Firkins Compound drinking a few beers with the boys..Jr. says let’s go to State fair to attend the Chicago concert..We all said let’s go.We made it in one piece + followed Jr. over several fences until we were in front row of Concert for Free. That has always stuck in my mind since the 70s..That + being a Gopher on Construction crew.. Always giving you a look like you should know what to do.. Will be missed Tremendously..
So sorry for your loss Karen! I will miss Miles I consider him my best friend and had great times working together on all of our projects. I can still hear his great laugh and the construction stories he told. He will be forever there in my memories of all the great times!!
