Milton was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved God, his family, and friends. He especially loved spending time with his grandkids and great grandkids. You could always find him supporting the Three Rivers Bulldogs under the Friday Night Lights and watching The Cowboys play on TV. Some of his hobbies he enjoyed were collecting arrowheads, knives, and western memorabilia…and there wasn’t an old western movie that he hasn’t seen. Most of all he loved spending time at his ranch “the country” feeding “his pets”….the deer. He will greatly be missed by many. Services entrusted to Roberson Funeral Home, Three Rivers.
