Alix Milonas

Alix Milonas, a longtime Renton resident, passed away on Sunday, February 16, 2014 at the age of 89.

He was born in Winton, Wyoming, a coal mining camp, on October 14, 1924 to the late Ella and John Milonas. His father passed away when he was a teenager, so he began working in the coal mines at a young age to help support his family.

He moved to Renton, Washington in the 1940’s where, after trying his hand at a few different jobs, decided to become a business owner and work for himself as an auto mechanic. He owned Skyway Park Arco for many years until he retired. He met his wife Barbara in Renton and they were married for 41 years before her passing back in 1999.

He is survived by his four children, Kevin Milonas of Puyallup, WA, Joella Edgmon of Renton, WA, Jim Milonas of Renton,WA and Cyndi Fleming of Stanwood, WA; six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and his sister, Anne Gillilan of Renton, WA. In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by five sisters and three brothers.

Memorial services will be held Sunday, February 23, 2014 at 2:00 PM at Greenwood Memorial Park Funeral Home in Renton, WA. He will be laid to rest at Mt. Olivet Cemetery on Monday, February 24, 2014.
