Remebering Milton....
Milton, a man of strong character, a man who walked in the light of the Lord. God saw fit for Milton to leave this earth to be with him in heaven. God embraced Milton with a Big Hug and a Smile just like Milton did when he would greet you.. He will be missed.. Greg & Cynthia Moore

Milton,
I was saddened with the news, because we just had a wonderful
conversation some months ago, when you were up at PUSD.
May your family find strength in God during this time, because he is the only one who can give us the strength we need to continue on after such great losses. You were a GREAT person, friend, listener, and a funny guy.
Milton you are someone that will always have a place in my heart. You
friend from PUSD.

Milton Banks, man 7 years only how unfair was it that I didn't get to
know you for more years. You were a amazing teammate and from all the
good things I heard you were also a amazing person inside and out. You
tought me a lot in those 7 years and we took a lot of championships all
over from L.A to N.Y to Las vegas and so on. I know u will always be
there @ the drew league watching us and wanting to step on the court
with us because that's just how you were. Your on a better team now and
hopefully 1 day we will meet again and hopefully play togather like old
times. I will never forget that smile that lit up the gym when u
arrived to the games. Just to let you know I finally found my here. The
rest of my basketball career will be dedicated to you. Love " action

Melonie, my sister-girl you have been though a lot,and each time you come though, your wings of faith are attached,
your head is held high, and you have a smile on your face, I'm asking God to let you rest some, and keep you in his arms constantly holding you,
Herb, as you stand by your sister during this time, know that you have a strong woman to lean on, and she has a strong brother to lean back on.
And your Dad has children he can truly be proud of. Now is the time to exhale knowing, Milton is at peace now, no more suffering, pain, or tears. Keep the memory alive. And know that we the Nash's are here for you whenever for whatever, you can call on us.

My prayers condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Banks, someone who has toucehed many lives and who's memory will be everlasting. It's said that the greatness of a man is not solely measured by his time here with us but also by the seeds he has planted and what the inspiration of his memory inspires them to grow to be. I have no doubt that all of us who were blessed to have known him in some instance were given something we'll use as our journey goes on that will help us, lift us and guide us thru-out the remainder of our own lives.......
