Curtis Dwayne Miles Jr.

Curtis D. Miles, Jr., aka Mosh, age 41, passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2026, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Born on May 27, 1985, in Charleston County, he was a cherished son, a beloved fiancé, brother, uncle, and devoted friend. Curtis lived out his days with a distinct and vibrant energy, finding unique joy in his favorite hobbies.

He was a seasoned traveler who often lived life as a nomad, embracing the freedom of the open road and the discovery of new horizons. His work as an electrician allowed him to travel the country alongside his fiancée, Heather, sharing countless adventures along the way. A man of many talents, Curtis was also a dedicated member of the bearding community. He found great joy in competitive bearding, traveling to events to showcase his carefully groomed beard while raising money for local charities. More than the trophies, he cherished the lifelong friendships and camaraderie he found within the bearding brotherhood.

He was a self-proclaimed barbecue fanatic who spent countless weekends chasing the perfect smoke ring. For Curtis, cooking was his way of showing love, and he took immense pride in hosting gatherings to ensure no one ever left hungry. A passionate metalhead, he found his ultimate expression and community in metal music—a powerful soundtrack to a life lived entirely on his own terms. Curtis was also an avid fisherman who found peace and quiet reflection out on the water.

Curtis leaves behind his devoted fiancée, Heather Halvorsen, with whom he shared his heart and dreams for the future, and their two beloved Boston Terriers, who brought endless joy to their days. He is also survived by his loving parents, Dwyane and Michele-Ann Miles; his younger brother, Jeremy (Ellen), and niece, Olivia; his best friend, Ben Hulings; along with many loving cousins, extended family members, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Jason; his grandparents, Harriet Knight and Carolyn M. Shelley; and his great-grandparents, Curtis and Theresa Miles, and Harry and Irma Jett.

His memory will live on in the journeys he took, the heavy beats of the music he loved, the warmth of the food he shared, and the quiet waters he fished.
