On November 4, the Phipps and Campbell family experienced an unimaginable loss with the passing of their beloved child, Miles, at just 15 years old.

Miles was a kind, talented, and creative soul who expressed himself through music. He loved playing the guitar, and spent countless hours composing songs that reflected his heart and imagination. He also loved skateboarding, bicycling, and spending time outdoors—especially at the park, surrounded by nature, where he found peace and inspiration.

Miles was a proud transgender male who was driven and faced the world with courage, authenticity, and grace, even in the face of bullying and misunderstanding. He is deeply loved and his smile, laughter, his music, and his BEAUTIFUL heart will forever be cherished by his family.

Once memorial expenses are met, all additional funds will be dedicated to creating a scholarship in Miles’ name. The family hopes to support young minds and continue the legacy of music, outdoors and and creativity that meant so much to him.

Your generosity — through a donation, a kind message, or simply sharing this page — will help the family create a lasting tribute that reflects the joy and creativity Miles brought into the world.

Let us honor Miles by carrying forward the kindness, creativity, and courage he showed every single day.
