Mr. Milo K. Sanders

Milo K. Sanders of Conyers passed away peacefully at his home on December 16, 2025. Born in Kansas City, MO, Milo spent most of his adult life in Georgia, where he built a life marked by service, dedication, and quiet kindness.

Milo was a proud nine-and-a-half-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant. During his service, he completed a tour in Vietnam, where he carried out reconnaissance flight missions with courage and commitment.

Following his military service, Milo enjoyed a long and successful career with Genuine Parts Company (NAPA). He retired after 30 years of dedicated service and was the recipient of numerous sales awards, reflecting his strong work ethic and the respect he earned from colleagues and clients alike.

A gentle and compassionate man, Milo deeply adored his grandchildren and found great joy in time spent with them. He was a devoted lover of animals and birds and spent many peaceful hours quietly watching and admiring them, especially during his convalescent periods. Milo was especially bonded to his emotional support dog, Elli, and grieved her deeply when she passed away.

Milo was preceded in death by his mother, Jacqueline "Jackie" Miller; father, Howard Miller; and brother, Bart A. Miller.

Survivors include his wife, Betty S. Sanders of Conyers; son, Chad S. Chaffin, his wife, Gloria Chaffin, of St. Clair, MI, and grandsons, Milind, Owen, and Rhett Chaffin; son T. Barrett Chaffin, his wife, Meg Chaffin of Leesburg, and granddaughters, Elizabeth "Libby" and Mary Miles Chaffin.

Honoring Milo's wishes, there will be no formal funeral services. The family will gather at a later date to celebrate and honor his life and memory.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Wounded Warriors, 4899 Belfort Road, Suite 300, Jacksonville, FL 32256.
