Robert Allen Milton

The fourth son of Robert and Willie Mae Milton, Robert Allen Milton, was born on September 18, 1964 in Little Rock, AR. A thinker & a tinkerer from the early age of 3, Robert began what became a very adventurous life of mastering how things worked by simply reading & disassembling things, only to reassemble them. He gave his life to Christ at an early age, which guided his decisions & governed his relationships with the innumerable people who were affected by and loved him. He graduated from Hall High School & went on to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. The highlight of his college career was being a drummer in the Golden Lions Marching Band, through which he became a member of the band fraternity Kappa Kappa Psi, Inc. In his later years, he became a member of the Pi Omicron Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. He graduated with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Biology/Chemistry in 1987. An avid learner, relentless in pursuing professional excellence, he began his career as an industrial hygiene technician, but eventually became an industrial hygienist & obtained over thirty-six specific technical specialist courses. His knowledge & skill led him to work for special causes, like the World Trade Center Recovery Team; important entities, like the Walter Reed Army Medical Center & the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; & made him a world traveler from Maryland to the Middle East, where he worked in Riyadh for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert E. Milton Jr.; grandparents Rev.
