CHAZZ R. MYLES SR.

On January 24, 1991, a very beautiful handsome baby boy entered into this world. His name
was Chazz Remington Myles. His mother, fell in love with him immediately, when she first laid
her eyes on him. She affectionately had many pet names for him, but she called him “Snu-Nu”
and his dad called him “Head” because he had the cutest big head. He was his mother’s pride
and joy, and his father was so proud to have a son. Chazz was their only son.
Chazz was so curious and smart when he was growing up. He paid attention to everything. He
was so intelligent and full of energy and life. He always asked a lot of questions. At two and
three years old, he always wanted to know what time it was, and on many occasions and
several times throughout the day, he always inquired about the time, as if he had somewhere
to go. Chazz was so adventurous when he was a little boy. He was so fearless and tried many
dare-devil acts with his infamous stunts that would lead to serious injuries. He and his mother
practically lived in the emergency room to get him patched up. Fortunately, Chazz managed
not to break a leg or arm.

Chazz was raised in church (Greater Deliverance, Inglewood, CA) and accepted Jesus Christ as
his personal Savior. He participated in youth programs and Sunday School. He also was a youth
usher. He made a choice to get baptized one day so he could declare his faith in Jesus Christ,
and his mother did not have to convince him to do so. He chose to do so himself and knowing
he was going to be dipped in the cool pool water, helped to convince his choice.
Many times, during his elementary school days, Chazz would cry to his mother about going to
school. He felt like five days a week was too much for a kid. He could not wait for Summertime
so he could play outside all day. As soon as the sun made its appearance on the first day of
Summer, Chazz would rush outside and find someone to play with until the sun made its exit in
the sky, and he still insisted on staying outside to play when the moon became his light.
Chazz was very active in sports. He played basketball and football, but his favorite sport was
football. He had a special football at home that he loved very much. He treated it like a pet. He
kept it in one hand when he walked around the house. Many times, he slept with his pet
football. His father loved the fact that his son loved football, because he played football in High
School, and he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, and Chazz knew that he couldn’t get
away from his father constantly telling him about his old glory days. Both of them were Raider
fans.

Chazz played Pop Warner football at Crenshaw High when he was growing up. He had great
coaches and mentors who poured into him (Coach “Tee”, Coach Stanley and others) and he
played at University High School (also known as “Uni”). His high school football coach (“Coach
Robinson”) was very impressed with Chazz in his freshman year. Chazz was a “defensive back”
on the varsity team until his senior year and won many trophies. In his adult years, he still
played football during the Thanksgiving season with his child-hood friends. They all would
compete in an annual Turkey Bowl (something he looked forward to every year).

Chazz made many friends from childhood (and he inducted them as his play brothers, sisters
and cousins). His personality and charm was so contagious, and everyone loved him. Many
times, when his mother came home from work, she would be greeted with a bunch of boys
hanging in his room and others in the kitchen looking for something to eat. Frequently, some of
them would spend the night on the weekends. She could not get rid of them. They all knew the
rule if they chose to stay on a Saturday night ... that they would have to go to church on Sunday
mornings. Most of them would be asleep in one row at church, from staying up and playing all
night. His mother loved them all like her own sons, even when they drove her crazy with their
antics.

Chazz had several best friends, one of whom, was his mother’s best friend (Sheryl’s) son,
Christopher. They were both mischievous together and lived off one brain when it came to their
ideas of having fun. One of them would suggest something crazy to have fun and the other one
would agree with it (like popping firecrackers in the bathroom and setting her rug on fire).
This dynamic-duo team drove their mothers crazy with their ongoing antics and schemes.
One Summer, Chazz and his childhood friend “AJ”, made a declaration that they were going to
play all day and never take a bath. Chazz’s mother did her best to convince them that this
wasn’t a good idea, and that no one wanted to be around smelly little boys. Rashaad, Kimble
and others were added to the crew and his mother was faced with never-ending capers. To this
day, Chazz still has the same friends, with many more added throughout his life. He created his
own independent fraternity of brothers. Whether from school, sports or in the neighborhood,
he included more life-long brothers. These young men grew up and continued to share a
mutual love and respect for each other. Their bond remained consistent and strong. Chazz was
like the neighborhood “Mayor” everywhere he went ... talking and making new friends. He
knew his mother’s neighbors before she did, because he was always outside talking to one of
them.

Chazz had his own cool style. He had a “swag” and remained amazed at his own handsome
reflection in the mirror and modeled for his admirers, especially his mother. He loved fashion,
clothes, jewelry and the latest brands of tennis shoes. He knew his sleek frame was looking
good when he would often say… “I got that drip on ... you feel me” and who could resist his
charming smile. His enchanting personality would capture your heart. He was so easy to love.
One of his most, greatest joys, was being a father to his three children. He had two beautiful
daughters, Chassidy and Kenzie and one handsome son, Chazz Jr. He loved each of them so
very much and he was so proud of them. He enjoyed spending time with them and watching
them grow up. He insisted that they focused on a great future and that there was nothing too
hard for them to achieve if they really want it. He wanted all their dreams to come true. His
girls, had him wrapped around their little finger and he would not have it any other way. His
son was his name-sake and he was so proud to have a son. All of his children carry a very
special part of him.

Chazz always had an entrepreneurial spirit. The first sign was when he charged his little friends
to sit on his visiting Auntie Paulette’s lap. To our surprise, we found out that he told them if
they gave him one dollar; they could take a turn and sit on his cute Auntie’s lap. Chazz always
thought outside of the box. He was so smart and intelligent. He was always thinking of a better
future for himself and his children. He wanted to retire his mother and take care her too. He
would joke and say that if she died, he would bury her in his backyard so she could still be close
to him. His focus was on creating generational wealth. He read a lot of books and he was a
wealth of knowledge. He was determined to have his own business one day. One of his mottos
was “A Key to a Better Future. is YOU!!
The same little boy who cried about going to school, enrolled himself in El Camino College and
took “Information Technology” courses while he was working a full-time job at Valvoline. He
was determined to learn everything in this field so he could start his own business. He was so
happy to pass his first midterm with a “B” average. He was on his way to achieving his dream,
but God offered him a better exchange for his life-long dream … and instead, gave him eternal
life with Jesus Christ. Chazz was loved and admired by many. His positive outlook on life itself
inspired new ambitions and relationships and more new friends were added to his roster. He
loved everyone and everyone loved him. The precious moments and memories shared with this
beautiful young man will never be forgotten. His intelligence is un-matched and his charming
smile will leave an impression on everyone’s heart forever.
