Randell Lynn Miles

Randy Miles, aged 72, passed away on March 20, 2026. He was a beloved father, husband, Papa, and friend who will be deeply missed.

Randy was born to Joe and Sue Miles in New Albany, IN, but spent his formative years in Louisville, KY . He graduated from Westport High School and attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR. There, he met and married Diann Shaddox, the love of his life, in Nashville, AR.

Randy and Diann moved from Arkansas to Louisville, Kentucky, where Randy joined Merrill Lynch. In 1979, he was transferred to New York City, where he worked at One Liberty Plaza. In 1980, he and Diann relocated to Washington, D.C., where he worked for EF Hutton, and later moved back to Louisville, Kentucky. In 1993, he moved to Bonita Springs, Florida, where he lived and worked for twelve years. In 2004, he was transferred to Austin, Texas, and then to Aiken, South Carolina. Randy retired from the investment financial world in 2014 after 42 years of service. Throughout his career, he was known for his hard work, dedication, and passion for helping others.

He co-founded the Diann Shaddox Foundation for Essential Tremor in 2014 and served as its Executive Director until his death. He dedicated his retirement years to helping and promoting research to find treatments and a cure for Essential Tremor. But more than anything, Randy was a devoted husband and father. He loved spending time with Diann and his children, taking short day trips (and a few long trips), traveling around the country, having a delicious steak dinner with a great bottle of cabernet, and sipping a glass of cold chardonnay while sitting on the beach with Diann.

Randy was preceded in death by his son Richard Miles and his parents, Joe and Sue Miles. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Diann Shaddox Miles; his children, Angela Miles; and his grandchildren, William Miles, Joey Miles, Emily Miles/Chambers, Stephanie Miles, and Heather Miles.

Arrangements are currently pending for Mr. Miles, under the direction of Latimer Funeral Home of Nashville. Service times will be announced soon.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Diann Shaddox Foundation for Essential Tremor. www.diannshaddoxfoundation.org for research to find a cure for Essential Tremor disease.

Randy will be dearly missed, but his legacy will live on through his wife Diann, family, friends, and the Diann Shaddox Foundation.
