Miles was a selfless individual... committed to family, community, and fellow South Carolinians. He was always very supportive of
USC Aiken and USC Columbia...and served both universities faithfully!
I long will remember his sense of humor, the stories he told with that distinctive southern drawl, his kindness, and his commitment to service!
It was a pleasure to know him and an honor to call him a friend. Dear Ann and family members, please accept my sincere condolences. Rest in peace, Trustee Loadholt.

Ann, My condolences to you and your family on the passing of Miles. He was a special friend during our days at Carolina, especially trying to decide where we were going to eat dinner, going to track meets and baseball and basketball games, playing intramural football, all while traveling in that '58 Chevy. Those were great days, and he was blessed to have you by his side for 57 years. May God provide tou with the knowledge and understanding that he is resting comfortably in his eternal home with your son and his parents. May God provide you with peace and comfort in your hour of need. Jim Beamguard
