Ben Miehe Obituary

Ben Miehe CHARLESTON - Ben Kevin Miehe, 74, of Charleston, SC, passed away on Sunday, August 4, 2024. Born on January 28, 1950 in Anamosa, Iowa, Ben was the son of the late Carmen Ingwersen Miehe and Raymond G. Miehe. Ben was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was dedicated, hard-working, and lived a life of integrity. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1972 and became an architect shortly thereafter. Ben spent the majority of his career with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) and spent over a decade at the College of Charleston as a staff architect. Throughout his career, he cultivated a niche in historic preservation. His designs can be found all over Lowcountry, from churches to businesses and residential homes, a legacy his family and community will cherish for years to come. Ben is survived by his wife, Jenny Miehe; son, Phillip Miehe (Megan Miehe); daughters, Jessica Gentry (John Gentry) and Alexa Davidson (Brandon Davidson); grandchildren: Maxwell Miehe, Hammy Miehe, Margaret Gentry, and Jack Gentry; and brothers, Bill Miehe and Bruce Miehe. The Celebration of Ben's life will be held at 2 pm on Thursday, August 15 at Founders Hall at Charles Towne Landing, 1500 Old Towne Road, Charleston, SC 29407.
