MILTON "MILT" BOZANIC Milton "Milt" Bozanic, passed away Thursday evening, March 7, 2019, at his home in Las Vegas with his loving wife and lifelong business partner, Dawn, by his side. A longtime resident of southern Nevada, Milt was born in Lander, Wyoming in 1929. He attended Kansas State University on an athletic scholarship, before transferring to the University of Wyoming where he received a degree in journalism. Milt also held a master's degree in English literature from UNLV. Milt served as a naval officer during the Korean War, where he was awarded the commendation medal with a "V" for valor, before moving to Las Vegas in 1957 to pursue a journalism career. Milt worked in advertising and hosted his own popular television show, "Look Who's Talking with Milt Bozanic," for more than 10 years. He then used his love for journalism to found several magazines and newspapers, including the Casino Post, the Las Vegas Homes Magazine and the Pahrump Valley Times, which is currently owned and operated by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. A real estate investor who devoted his life to the welfare of others, Milt successfully operated Milt Bozanic Properties for decades, which afforded him the opportunity to live a life of private philanthropy. Milt was known to donate to countless local charities and non-profits, seeking nothing in return but a handshake and a smile. Milt and his brother Dan even created a program that funds an annual full-ride-scholarship for underprivileged students at their high school alma matter, Lander High School in Wyoming, to attend the University of Wyoming, each and every year free of charge. The scholarship and Milt's other philanthropy efforts will continue into the indefinite future. Milt was loved by everyone who knew him, including his friends, business acquaintances and even his tenants. He is survived by his wife, Dawn. Service will be at noon Sun., March 17, at Davis Memorial Park, 6200 S. Eastern Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89119. Middle Eastern food, Milt's favorite, will be served at 2 p.m. at the family home.

I worked for Milt on the Las Vegas Homes magazine in the early 90s. A gentle soul and very kind-hearted, he made me feel like family and I enjoyed working with him. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and close friends. Wishing you comfort and lasting memories.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of a dear friend and mentor in the newspaper business. An excellent journalist and outstanding newspaperman for many years, Milt was always someone whose opinion I always respected, even if we were polar opposites politically. I will miss his Christmas parties, which were THE BEST! So long, my friend.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I never met Milt, however he was a friend to me. My family moved to Las Vegas in 1963, I was 12 years old. I was new to every thing, but watching the late show with Milt was a good warm way to adjust to my new surroundings. Thank you and may God Bless you!

We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Milt through Dawn several years ago. He is the most genuine, honest, trusting, and kind individual you would ever want to associate with. Deeply humble full of class, wisdom and seeded knowledge. We looked forward to seeing him, and he was always eager to hear about our adventures, and the our kid's accomplishments, constantly intrigued and supportive. Our kids looked up to him like a Grandfather and are very saddened to hear of his passing. He is and will be deeply missed. May God grant him eternal peace. He is among the angels in heaven! God rest his soul, we love you "Milt"! Thank you for being such a kind and dear friend! :(

I met Milt in 1973 while I was working for Preferred Equities (developer of Calvada Valley in Pahrump). Milt was such an interesting and smart man. I enjoyed speaking with him and building a friendship over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family at this time of their loss.
