WIGGINS, Miss. (WLOX) - American flags throughout Wiggins flew at half staff on Monday in honor of Mayor Joel Miles who died on Sunday after being hospitalized due to double pneumonia just weeks after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
It’s a friendship that Wiggins City Attorney Jenny Tyler Baker said she will miss.
“It’s definitely going to be tough because we all worked with him very closely and got to know each other on a friend level,” Tyler Baker said. “We’ve lost a friend and a leader, and it’s going to be tough for a lot of us.”
