Miles Gregory Passa was born August 28, 2017, a son of Gregory and Michelle (Johnson) Passa, in Minot, ND. He moved with his family to Velva, ND, when he was 1 year old. He attended Star City Daycare, and enjoyed baseball, playing t-ball and was very outgoing, making new friends everywhere he went.

In the fall of 2023, Miles and his family moved to Minot, where he attended Bishop Ryan School. He remained very sociable, and active with his siblings and friends. Together they enjoyed baseball, hitting golf balls, playing Nintendo Switch, (especially Mario Cart and Super Mario.) He even enjoyed attacking his siblings with his Nerf Gun collection.

In August of 2023, Miles was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. He remained courageous, and underwent his first major brain surgery five days before his 6th birthday. Throughout the past year and a half, he remained active, was very smart and organized. He especially enjoyed Captain America, playing with Legos and playing with his cat Ashton.
