Milo Register
Jan. 19, 1953 – May 18, 2020
Milo Register, 67,
Minot, died Monday, May
18, 2020 in a Minot hospi-
tal.
Milo was born January
19, 1953 in Minot, ND to
Vernon and Arlene (Clark)
Register. He grew up near
Minot and attended Minot
High School. He gra-
duated in 1972.
Milo moved to Mesa,
AZ in 1988. He worked in
construction at the Out of
Africa Wildlife Park in
Fountain Hills, AZ. Milo
constructed enclosures for
the ‘big cats’ along with
other construction needs
for the park. He stayed
connected to the park
through a donation pro-
gram to feed the animals
discarded meat from
markets and butchers in
the area. Milo assisted in
the reconstruction effort
following hurricane Katri-
na and returned to Minot
in July 2009.
Milo did things ‘big’
and his was always ‘all
in.’ He enjoyed the out-
doors, chased walleyes
but settled for any catch
on his line. He was happy
to have spent his last days
of his life cooking for
friends. Milo had the most
blue and kind eyes many
had ever seen. He had a
love of horses and always
seemed to have a dog by
his side. He will be
missed by all who shared
in his life.
Milo is survived by his
daughter Virginia (Alex)
Mardikian, Minot;
grandchildren Chryxaun-
na, Lane, Chyna and Mor-
gan; sisters Verla (Wes)
Dockter, Payson, AZ and
RaeDene (David) Turner,
Chugiak, AK;
Milo was preceded in
death by his parents.
A memorial service is
planned for August 19,
2020 from 6:00 – 8:00
p.m. at Roosevelt Park,
Minot.
