Nyles Ferden passed away August 15, 2025. He was born January 13, 1958, to Lavina "Bonni" (Mitchell) & Francis Ferden in St. Johns Michigan where he also attended High School.

Nyles loved the great outdoors, fishing and hunting with his brothers, and his children. He enjoyed vacationing up north and visiting the family cottage in Houghton Lake. He also enjoyed playing pool and played in many leagues throughout the years. Nyles loved rock & roll and had quite a collection of 45s but later came to love country music. He enjoyed what he called "farming" which wasn't really farming but just being outside messing around in the yard.

Nyles worked for Trane/Ingersoll Rand at the Fort Smith Arkansas Plant until retiring in January 2022. After retiring, Nyles moved to Bella Vista Arkansas.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his late wife, Donna (Cox) Ferden; sister, LeAnne; and brother, Erik.
