Myles Thomas McGahren, age 3, passed away on Wednesday, November 25 ^th , in the peace of his home in Manheim Township surrounded by his family and under the loving care of Bayada Nurses and Hospice of Lancaster County.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2009 at 11:00 AM at the Grace United Church of Christ, 1947 New Holland Pike, Lancaster. (www. Gracechurchlancaster.org)

Myles , born May 15 ^th , 2006 is survived by his parents, Lisa and Paul McGahren, his brother, Maxwell James, and his sister, Riley Elizabeth.  He was preceded in death by his identical twin, Luke Harrison, who died prenatally at 27 weeks of unknown causes.

Myles, inflicted with a severe brain trauma due to the prenatal passing of his identical twin, was not expected to survive beyond his delivery. To the surprise and astonishment of the many he touched, he thrived during his short and beautiful life and earned the appropriate nickname "Myghty Myles." In his brief time on earth, he brought unconditional love, joy, and comfort to his family, his caregivers, and all those who met him.
