Randy Miles Executive Director

December 7, 1953 - March 20, 2026

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Randy Miles, our Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Diann Shaddox Foundation, as well as the husband of Diann Shaddox, on March 20, 2026.

Randy was a respected leader in our industry, a dedicated advocate for raising awareness of Essential Tremor worldwide. Since co-founding the Diann Shaddox Foundation in 2014, he played an invaluable role in advancing the foundation’s mission. His passion to find a cure for Essential Tremor stemmed from his love for Diann, who has lived with the challenges of ET her entire life.

Randy spearheaded fundraising initiatives that supported groundbreaking research and launched community outreach programs that connected patients and families.

Randy consistently demonstrated professionalism and compassion, taking time to engage with each ET patient to listen to each patient’s story, making everyone feel valued and understood.

Thank you, Randy, for sharing your brilliance with us. You will be deeply missed more than words can express.
