Richard William Miles

In Tribute

​Richard William Miles’ life was ended way too quickly, and the question of why will never be answered. SunTrust Senior Vice President Richard Miles, 39, checked into an Orlando hospital with a severe headache. The otherwise-healthy husband and father of three young girls had a lemon-sized tumor in his head and never recovered after brain surgery. He died on Tuesday, May 20, 2014.

Rick lived his life to the fullest, and he lived more in his short life than many people live in a lifetime. 

He touched so many lives, giving them smiles from his laughter and a strong shoulder to lean on. He left them with joy and a drive to continue and never give up, no matter what life throws at them. 

Rick had developed Essential Tremor a few years before his death and was helping set up the Diann Shaddox Foundation to help bring awareness and a cure for ET.
