Milo Breitinger, 72, of Mansfield, Ohio, unexpectedly passed away on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.
Milo was born November 8, 1951, in Mansfield, Ohio, to William and Eloise Breitinger. He graduated from Madison High School in 1971 and married his high school sweetheart, Kim Guerin in 1972.
Milo was a dedicated family man and a proud owner of a family business for over 50 years. While he was devoted to his work, his greatest joy came from spending time with his beloved family. He adored his wife, children, and grandchildren, and his face would light up with every moment spent with them.
As he transitioned from the demands of the business world, Milo discovered new passions. He found enjoyment in the art of cooking, delighting his loved ones with his culinary creations. He was also very creative at woodworking, making a boat bar and other projects for the cottage. He took great pleasure in nurturing his grandchildren’s curiosity, often assisting them with science projects and cheering them on during their sports activities.
One of Milo’s greatest joys was being on the water. From his first boat on Pleasant Hill Lake to adventurous voyages on Lake Erie, the Georgian Bay, Canada, Alaska, Florida, and the British Virgin Islands, he found peace and excitement in exploring the vast expanse of the sea. His cherished memories include countless moments spent at his South Bass Island cottage and boat trips to the North Channel.
Milo Breitinger will be fondly remembered for his unwavering love for his family, friends, his zest for life, and his adventurous spirit.
He leaves behind a legacy of warmth, kindness, and unforgettable memories. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
