| STEVE MILLER - GAILEN PRIDEAUX | ||
| STEVE MILLER
- July 30, 1962-March 18, 2005
Steve Miller passed away on March 18, 2005 at the age of 42. Steve was very outgoing and lived life to the fullest. He loved playing and watching tennis and was part of the Seattle Gay mens tennis team, Seattle Tennis Alliance. He loved to watch college basketball. He was planning on playing on the Seattle Gay mens softball team this spring. Most of all he loved his two Yorkie Terriers, Matz and Mac. Born in Bellingham, Steve lived in the Wallingford area in North Seattle. Steve worked at Fred Meyer on Capitol Hill for many years. His last position was at IAM CARES (International Association of Machinists Center for Administering Rehabilitation and Employment Services) a non-profit organization for which Steve was Area Project Director before being recently promoted to president for the Seattle region. IAM CARES was founded in 1980 by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The objective that drew Steve to this organization is the fact that IAM CARES promotes employment opportunities, job security and training for people with disabilities (physical and AIDS/HIV). IAM CARES remained closed the day of Steves funeral in his honor. Steves funeral was held on March 22, 2005. The service took place at Solie Funeral Home in Everett, WA. Steve is survived by his ex-partner and good friend of 16 years, Robert Schechter, who resides in Chicago; and the Miller family. Steve Miller will be missed greatly by all his friends, community and family. GAILEN PRIDEAUX - April 16, 1957-March 2, 2005 Gailen Prideaux, Age 48.

He moved to Seattle Washington in 1980 where he spent the next 10 years, before moving to Index, Washington, where he lived the remainder of his life, surrounded by the people and places that he loved. A stroke caused by a congenital abnormality of the blood vessels in the brain, cut short his long and courageous battle with HIV/AIDS.

Gailen was a regular member of Camp TRC, and worked as a bar tender at the Index Tavern and the Bush House. Gailen will be greatly missed by all that knew him He is survived by his father, Jack Prideaux. Sisters Rebecca Shumaker and Sherri Miracle. Brother Daniel Prideaux. Nieces Dawn and Amber. Nephews Joshua, Albert, Josh, Kyle, and Derek. Great Niece Reannah Berry and Great Nephew Bryton Howard and a close circle of loving friends.
