Joe, we will be planning our 50th Class Reunion and I'm thinking about you. You were always such a fun and caring classmate. Always smiling and you stood so tall. God had a special plan for you! Kathy

Praying for your family. Joe was such a kind and caring man. God's choir got stronger and better with him singing in it.

Joe was such a special guy. You knew it from the moment you met him. The smile, the laugh and that twinkle in his eyes spoke volumes. And when he sang...well, you got a little glimpse of heaven. He loved God and his family and it was evident by the way he lived his life. He will be missed by so many. Beth, you and the kids take comfort in knowing that Joe touched so many lives in a way that no one else could. Y'all are in my prayers.

Joe was and will always be so very well loved and respected by so many. He also had a great sense of humor and I still remember laughing together in typing class at Porter J.H. He has always been one of my favorite life friends. Love to you, Beth, and your entire family.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you adjust to the loss of your son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.
Joe was the first born great-grandchild of Grandma (Della) Miles and I will never forget seeing her smile when she held him. Precious memories.

Struggling to find the words to say how sad I am that Joe's time on earth was so short. I have loved Joe and his family for 20+ years and I always told Joe and Beth that if I listed my 10 favorite men on earth, Joe would be right up there on the list with my Dad.
As all have said, it was my blessing to know both Beth and Joe. Going forward, I pray to be influenced by Joe's incredible faith and commitment. But foremost, I pray for Beth and the children to smile as you remember an awesome guy! Much Love Nan

Joe Jr. always lived his life to the fullest and was loved by all. We know that the Lord is holding you close to him at this time, as he welcomes Joe Jr. to heaven.

Like so many of us, I will remember Joe's smooth voice but what I will always remember is the smile and laugh that was behind that voice. As his voice could soften the coldest room his smile would light it up. My prayers are with his family that through God's comfort Joe's smile will continue to be on them.

I, too, was blessed to know Joe through elementary, jr high and high school.He and his parents , brother and sister were so special to the Oliphants.Through all the years I knew him, Joe was always a shining example of Godly integrity. He is now more apart of our eternal future than he was of our past. Joe is celebrating with his Lord! All my love to Beth and all of Joe's family,

Joe was an honorable man who never bent to peer pressure and made it cool to stand up for his beliefs. He loved God and his family and friends and he could light up a room by being in it.
My heart is broken that the world is now smaller that he is not in it. My thoughts and my prayers go out to Beth, his parents, his children and family.... God Bless you all !!!

Tears are streaming down my face. Joe is a tough one to lose. If anyone is in heaven, it is Joe Miles. However, he was one of the finest friends I ever had -- 'truly one of the finest human beings I ever knew. He was literally one day younger than me -- God promoted him to heaven early. 'Miss you, Joe!!!

I'm heartbroken. From 1st thru 12th grade Joe was always a good friend. He was a person everyone could look up to (literally, always the tallest in the class)and respect. Even as a very young child he carried and expressed values that would take him successfully through life. A natural leader.
Coach, Mrs. Miles, Art and Tracy, Judy and I are remembering Joe and holding your family close in our hearts. Beth, we will continue to keep you in our prayers in the months ahead.
"Behold, HE goes to prepare for us a place."
