Milo’s hobby was loving his wife and sweetheart, Jackie. He could never pass on a nice cold Coke. He loved spending time with his family in the outdoors. Put him in the Grand Teton’s or Arches National Park and he was one happy man. He was an avid reader and had a lifelong thirst for knowledge. He was a convert to the LDS faith and served faithfully in many callings. He served an inner-city mission with his wife. Milo had a gigantic heart and would do anything for someone in need.

He is survived by his wife and children, grandchildren, his many nieces and nephews, and his two brothers, Dan and Fred Collings. He was preceded in death by his parents.
