Chris Milo

We are sad to announce the passing of Chris Milo. Chris passed away Christmas Day in Glendora, CA at 89 years old with his loving wife of 63 years, Ruth, at his side. Chris was born in the village of Ljubojno, Macedonia on July 18, 1933. He was the third child, and only son, of Spase and Sandra Miloshevich. Chris moved to America in 1955. He met his wife on a blind date that same year and they went on to marry in 1959. In 1964, they welcomed their son, David, followed by their daughter Rebecca in 1966. Chris worked tirelessly to achieve his American Dream. You could always find him at one of his restaurants or at his bar (Sugar Shack) in Detroit. After marrying, Chris and Ruth lived in Detroit. When their kids were born they moved to Grosse Ile where they resided for 20+ years. After leaving the island, they moved to Riverview before settling down in Plymouth. They also split their time in Stuart, FL. Instead of enjoying a peaceful retirement, he and Ruth chose to dedicate themselves to raising their grandchildren Christopher and Christine. This was a decision he never regretted. Chris enjoyed singing, golfing, running, Frank Sinatra, spending time with his family and friends, and watching Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune on a nightly basis. Chris was preceded in death by his parents Spase and Sandra, his sister Milica, his daughter Rebecca, his grandson Christopher, his nephew Vasco, his nieces Milka and Christine, and several other loved ones. Chris is survived by his wife Ruth; son David (Julie); grandchildren Christine (Steve), Kendall, and Tyler; great grandson Shae; and sisters Menka (Spase), Dorothy (George), Lenka (Metojia), and Natalie (Ted). On Friday, December 30, 2022 a viewing and ceremony in Chris’ honor will be held at St. Clement Ohridski Eastern Orthodox Church (19600 Ford Rd, Dearborn, MI 48128) from 1pm- 3pm.
