He is currently a chief deputy coroner and has worked with Bibb County Coroner’s Office for 26 years. Miley also has been a member of other boards, among which included the water authority and planning and zoning.
“I’m not a person that looks for any awards, but I certainly appreciate this because I know man awards but God rewards,” Miley said at Tuesday’s presentation.

His twin brother, Ronnie Miley, is a former Bibb school board member and is also a chief deputy coroner.
