The family of Mr. Kuniaki Chaconne Miles of Graniteville, SC announces his passing, and invites all who knew him to remember him here.
The chapters of his life were many; these are some of them.
Mr. held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
A life of faith is rarely a life of certainty — but always one of trust.
Mr. Kuniaki Chaconne Miles, age 49, beloved husband of Mrs. Jessica Smoot Miles, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, April 29, 2026.
He will be remembered for his steady presence, his strong work ethic, and the love he poured into his family and everyday life. A man who took pride in all he did, Kuniaki built his life around dedication to his work, his home, and those he cherished most.
Family and friends are invited to gather in his memory on Wednesday evening, May 6, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Hatcher Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 3464 Jefferson Davis Highway, Graniteville, South Carolina. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Thursday, May 7, 2026, beginning at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel, officiated by his brother, Mr. Diron Vinson.
Kuniaki leaves to cherish his memory his loving mother, Audrey Miles Vinson; his children, Dominiquie (Stephanie) Miles, Ka'Nija Tionne Miles Jaelyn Miles, and Kiley Miles; his siblings, Diron (Shameka)Vinson, Chavavos Miles, and Brittany Vinson; and his treasured grandchild, Kessiah.
Kuniaki was born in Augusta, Georgia. He was baptized at Old Storm Branch Baptist Church, where his faith began to take root early in life. Known as a hardworking man in the asphalt industry, he approached every task with determination and pride. Outside of work, he was a passionate Georgia Bulldogs fan, a stylish dresser, someone who found joy in keeping his surroundings neat and orderly, and a gifted cook whose meals brought people together.
Above all, Kuniaki will be remembered for his love for his family, for the simple moments, and for a life lived with quiet strength and care. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
