Anthony Milo Obituary

Army Soldier PVT Anthony R. Milo was born March 27, 1985 in Bad Kissingen, Germany. He passed away March 4, 2010 at Ft. Lee, VA doing exactly what he loved. Although he didn't get to serve in the Army for very long, the army became everything to him in such a short time and he was determined to make it his career. Needless to say he definitely made his family proud with the way he turned his life around and quickly became a man. Anthony without a doubt was sent to earth to make a difference. So many close friends and family can go on about what a pain he could be, but in all that it was how he touched many lives and made a difference. He definitely blessed so many peoples life with his amazing smile, crazy personality, and blunt outlook on life. Anthony is survived by his loving parents, Patricia Gerken, James Gerken and Tim Juvera, who was like a father to him. Also living for him are his brothers and sisters, Michael Milo, Angelina Milo, Nicole Gaudin, and PFC Jeremy Gerken; sister-in-law, Natasha Hernandez; nieces, Tiegan Milo and Jycelia Milo; and close friends, Jacob McWilliams, PVT Daniel Whitmer, Alysia Torres, PFC John Orengo, Christopher Lyons and many others. Services will be held 10:00 AM Wednesday March 10, 2010 at Evergreen Funeral Home Chapel, 1830 E. Fountain Blvd, with interment at the Evergreen Cemetery, 1005 S. Hancock Ave. The viewing will be the night before on the 9th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Evergreen Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Colorado Springs Humane Society Pikes Peak Region, 610 Abbott Lane.

Milo,
So the graduation of the remaining "Spin Moves" was yesterday, and yet it felt like something was missing. Although you are still here (in my heart), we still wished you were there yesterday-- walking on the stage with everybody else. We talked about you yesterday too, and when I asked Whitmer if yesterday felt wierd, he said "yeah". Your bed had been made every day after you left; and I knew that yesterday was going to feel VERY different, since everybody was graduating. I now have another memory of you, thanks to your battle buddy. Just know that you will NEVER be forgotten, Milo. BELIEVE IT!!! LONG LIVE THE "SPIN MOVES"!!!

Milo,
We just got back from Log Warrior and although graduation is just in a few days, myself, along with the other "Spin Moves" still talk about you, (chuckle). I can't believe it's been a month as of tomorrow since that day. I sure hope your family is okay, despite all that's been happening; I still pray for them. Milo, you were and are still a true inspiration to me, the "Spin Moves", and the company. I'm also making a slideshow of all the things y'all did while being at Charlie, and you are in it too. We took a squad picture yesterday, and it was in memory of you. Besides, you're still a "Spin Move"... You are never excluded from it... RIP to a fellow Parachute Rigger, and my squared-away Soldier... LONG LIVE THE "SPIN MOVES"!!!

Milo family...there is a lot to be said about your son, and the great things he did, I know he was always there for me when I needed help. Just remember what the Word of God says. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Milo was a very good friend. When I first met him he sized me up and it made me laugh harder than I ever had at someone I never met. He always told me and my battle to always be ourselves. I am a 92M but he talked me into goin airborne this summer. I am blessed to have met him and I miss him because he was the only squared away soldier in charlie company. My prayers are with the family I hope you stay strong. U will be miss dearly MILO A.K.A BABY T.I.

Dear Milo Family,
I am saddened to hear of the great loss of Anthony. He is a bright spark in my memories of Strassburg Kaserne, friend of our daughter Tiara, and most certainly was a great soldier. He died serving his country, and I am forever grateful to him. I am thankful that I could know him, little that I did, he made an impression on my life and won't be forgotten. Thank you for sharing Anthony with us and our prayers are with you.

Oh Anthony....we have some good memories. Hanging out at your place and watching movies, all the good times at the Y.S. and the late nights in good ol' Strassburg. We talked about getting older throughout the years, and I remember you hitting a few speed bumps while I was in college...we would spend time chatting about what you wanted to do, and I encouraged you, and you encouraged me. It seems like you were really finding your place and for that, I am so happy for you. I cannot believe that this happened and it breaks my heart that you were taken so young. But Heaven has gained a great addition- I hope you will watch over us. We will never forget you, that is for sure. My condolences to your family and friends. God Bless, R.I.P xxx

Anthony,

You were the first person I met when I moved to Germany.. After we met, we were almost inseperable. I have so many good memories of our "Germany days". Even though you and your family had moved, we kept in touch throughout the years. I am so happy, I got to see you again, during Christmas after so many years! I had one of the best times, seeing you, and your family again.

You had the biggest heart, best advice, and such a wonderful personality. You always gave it to me straight, whether I wanted to hear it or not. And for that, you've made me a better person and I thank you for that.

I'm sad I will not be able to drive to VA, to watch you graduate AIT, and you won't be spending two weeks with my family and I, like we had planned, but I will not let a day go by without thinking of you! You have made your family, as well as myself, so very proud!

I know you will be looking over your family and I, for the rest of our days.
I MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH! <3

There were so many times that you've talked to me about my decisions that I've made in my life. You sat me down and was blunt with me, never sugar coated anything and made me realize I needed to think real hard at where I was headed. Sometimes you made me mad because I didn't want to hear what you had to say because I knew they were ture. But because of you, you made a difference in my life and I am grateful. You were a great friend, soldier, and will be greatly missed. Love you always...

Milo, you were the definition of what being airborne really is. You were always fired up, and ready to do whatever task was set out for us. You motivated everybody that knew you, and even those that didn't. You gave everyone the motivation to drive on, and we will. You will be missed by all.
To the family, you are in our prayers and thoughts. You raised a good man, and a perfect soldier. It was an honor knowing your son, and I am proud to have known him.

To the family and friends of milo, he was a great guy and i really enjoyed all the time we spent together he always had jokes when i did stupid stuff, and it was the type of remark that would make you laugh yourself about the dumb things you did. he had alot of pride in being airborn and convinced me to do it so this summer i plan on getting my wings for him. Milos family is very luky to have a guy like him. he will be missed great but forever in my heart. he had a great impact on me, i always told him he was perfect and he would tell me nope only perfect for him lol. so to all his friends and family i keep you an him in my prayers.

To the parents and family of PV2 Anthony Milo, my deepest condolences on behalf of myself and all who knew him here at Fort Lee. He was such an awesome Soldier, and I thank God for allowing me to know him. His life here at C Co and his legacy will continue to live in my heart, and every day that goes by that I can say "How's it goin" to my Soldiers, I will still have him in my mind as if he's in the formation. Milo was a positive influence to everyone here to include the cadre. He was the Soldier who was just trying to get the job done so that he could do the next thing, and although he's not here physically, he will always be my Soldier in my heart. It is SO unfortunate what happened to him, but I say to you family, I feel a loss here too. What keeps me smiling when I say his name are the memories I have of him... They are such good memories, I know he's in heaven now, just chillin' out and shootin' the breeze with past people he knew; and I say to you, parents and family of PV2 Anthony R. Milo, keep the faith and be blessed. It is because of your love and care that Milo was the Soldier and person he was, just staight up AWESOME!!! It takes awesome parents to raise a man like Milo. My prayers and thoughts are with you always, LONG LIVE THE SPIN MOVES!!! (Milo's platoon name) We miss you high-speed!!! AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!! RIGGERS GO TO WORK!!!
