Terrance James Miller, age 28, died Aug. 18, 2015 at Virginia Hospital Center of natural causes. He was born Sept. 6, 1986. Terrance was the beloved son of the late Linda Elaine Miller, grandson of the late Minnie A. Samuels Kyle Miller and the late James Miller. He resided in Arlington, but lived in Frankfort, Ky. for several years.
He graduated from Wakefield High School in Arlington in 2004 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in 2009 from Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, N.C. He worked at Northern Virginia Community College, Loudoun Campus in the Office of Student Life and Luther Jackson Middle School, Falls Church, in the Office of Student Services.
He served as an Arlington County Fair board member since 2011. The Arlington County Fair Board of Directors will honor Terrance’s legacy of community service through a tribute at the 2016 Arlington County Fair. Terrance’s was one of the first faces people encountered as they arrived at the fair through the main entrance at the shuttle stop. Throughout his tenure as a volunteer, Terrance served in almost every area of the fair including at parking lots, information desks, t-shirt booth, vendor set up, outdoor activities, and more. As with many board members, the fair became a family effort and Terrance’s aunt, Janise Kyle often joined him for volunteer shifts.
He is survived by his uncle Terrance J. Kyle of New York City, aunts Janise L. Kyle of Arlington, Carolyn Y. Miller-Harris (Bonnie) of Frankfort, Ky. and cousins Matthew J. Harris (Katie), Walter S. Harris, all of Louisville, Ky., Whitney A. Harris of Beaufort, S.C., and a host of cousins and friends.
