Miles Wertheimer

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Miles Nedler Wertheimer announces his passing on Sunday, October 19, 2025. He left us way too soon, only 11 days after his 66th birthday. Miles left this world doing what he enjoyed most, enjoying quality time with his beloved family - this time in New York City to visit his daughter Jackie’s new hometown. Miles was the youngest of four children born in Houston to Sharla and Henry Wertheimer, of blessed memory. Much of his childhood, beginning at the age of 2, was spent in Rosenberg, Texas, where his upbringing was rooted in service to others. His father, a pharmacist, owned and operated Schaefer’s Pharmacy, while serving as a community leader, as Mayor of Rosenberg and an active member of the school board. His mother also lived an active life of service holding several volunteer positions such as Hadassah chapter president and a member of the Seven Acres Board. Miles attended Lamar Consolidated High School in Rosenberg, then graduated from Tulane University with a degree in Mathematics and Stastics in 1982. Miles worked for Hewlett Packard as a systems analyst and program manager, beloved by his many coworkers for over 36 years. The role Miles cherished most was husband to his wife of over 35 years, Mindy, and father to his two daughters, Holli and Jaclyn, who call him the very definition of The Ultimate Girl Dad. His daughters cherish his unmatched unconditional love often expressed by doing everyday actions extraordinarily from airport pick up rides with Whataburger in tow, to sending them home with his famous care packages with a frozen smoked chicken for dinner and everything in between - no act was too big or too small, it was all an expression of his endless love. Those who knew him best describe him as the most giving, loving, thoughtful person they ever knew. He loved nothing more than setting a table surrounded by people he loved. Most recently, his meals were not complete without his famous homemade ice cream. He also loved to bowl, first at Palace Lanes, then Emerald Bowl in Stafford, where he played weekly in The Old Timers League. He was also a sports and movie buff. Miles was THE definition of a mensch. He continued his family legacy of service and held many roles in the community. He held countless positions including the Seven Acres Board, the CYJ Texas Scholarship committee, the Beth Yeshurun Cemetery Committee, the Religious School Education committee, among others. He was a dedicated blood donor who donated gallons of his own blood to strangers regularly – he was one of the top donors in the state of Texas. Miles was a deeply religious and spiritual man, and lived out the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam. Miles was a selfless individual and never saw his actions as anything special. He loved helping others and felt blessed he was given the skillset combined with a supportive family that allowed him to serve. Miles is survived by his wife Mindy Ehrenkranz Wertheimer, daughter, Holli Wertheimer Abrahams, and son-in-law, Matt Abrahams, and daughter Jaclyn Wertheimer, and partner, Cameron Soliz. The wider family includes Miles’s siblings, Kim Wertheimer, partner, Kathy Dreyfus, Jane Solimani, and Stephen and Gabrielle Wertheimer, and Mindy’s siblings and their spouses, Aimee and Don McCrory, Heather and Bob Westendarp, and Stan Ehrenkranz and Cindy Gabriel, along with many special nieces, nephews, and cousins who will always remember how he made them feel. He was predeceased by his loving parents Sharla and Henry Wertheimer. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the CYJ Texas Scholarship fund (https://cyjtexas.org/donate), Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services (https://www.sevenacres.org/tributes/), or to a charity of your choice in Miles’ memory. Miles will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him and his exceptional kindness.
