Jeffrey A. Miller

On June 6, 2025, Jeffrey Alan Miller (“Jeff”) Miller passed away at the age of 62 at his home in Peekskill, NY.

Jeff was raised in Orange County California. He was an avid international traveler who spent time in Belgium, Germany and his beloved France. Jeff ultimately transplanted himself to New York where he held jobs in a variety of fields from information technology to internal communications to business transformation at Caring for the Hungry and Homeless of Peekskill (“CHHOP”) where he worked at the time of his death.

Jeff was a singularly accomplished individual; he was fluent in several languages, including French and German, held a BA in Communications from California State University Long Beach, an MA in Journalism, Radio, TV and English, and an MBA (with a 4.0 GPA) from Iona University. Jeff never met a problem he wasn’t interested in solving. 

Jeff was known to his devoted friends as part Martha Stewart, part weather announcer, part Parisian, part technology genius, part music aficionado, and one of the kindest, most gentle human beings. Jeff was devoted to his family, telephoning his sister daily and his mother weekly despite their geographic distance.

Jeff was an accomplished chef known for his gourmet salads sprinkled with edible flowers, Duck L’orange, and escargot. Jeff designed his house in Peekskill, adding his personal touch to his garage so it would appear that fish were frolicking in the ocean during a rainstorm. Jeff’s sanctuary was his home garden, where he spent hours creating unparalleled beauty.

Jeff was integral in transforming the social services organization Caring for the Hungry and Homeless of Peekskill (CHHOP) into a highly respected organization focusing on equity for the most vulnerable. Jeff’s skills and talents in the workplace were many. Jeff ‘s responsibilities included IT, social media, data management, and event  planning and logistics. Jeff handled the numerous emergencies inherent in his work, from IT crises to burst building pipes, to working on tight deadlines with CHHOP’s architect on building renovations, all with aplomb. Jeff was a “thought leader” at CHHOP whose absence will be keenly felt every day.

Jeff is survived by his mother Marianne Miller, his sister Lori Miller, his niece Brenda Miller and her husband Dave Koos, and his nephew Jeffrey and his spouse.

Jeff’s father, Ray Miller, predeceased him.

A private cremation was held on June 13, 2025.

Edward James Warren

With deep love and sorrow, the family of Edward James Warren announces his peaceful passing on June 12, 2025, at the age of 63.

Born in Peekskill, New York, on January 22, 1962, Edward was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, and friend. A proud U.S. Navy veteran and skilled HVAC technician, he worked with dedication and integrity throughout his life. Beyond his profession, Edward will be remembered for the warmth of his presence and the strength of his character.

He is survived by his beloved wife Kinuyo, his loving mother Farida, and his four cherished children: Sayaka, Akina, Toshio, and Mika as well as his nephew Akito. He also leaves behind four treasured grandchildren—Sayuri, Jermaine Jr., Olivia, and Kenji—who brought him immeasurable joy. He is also survived by his sons-in-law Jermaine Sr. and Daijon, and daughter-in-law Mary. 

Edward had a lifelong passion for music, especially jazz, and found great joy in cheering on his favorite teams—the New York Giants and the New York Knicks. But above all, his happiest moments were spent surrounded by family, especially his grandchildren, who were the light of his life.

He was an extraordinary man—an amazing husband, a devoted father, a caring grandfather, and a loyal friend. His kindness, laughter, and unwavering love will be remembered always. He will truly be missed and forever loved.
