Milo L. Hewitt

1931 - 2017

On the afternoon of Saturday October 7, Dr. Milo L. Hewitt passed from this world in the arms of loving family and friends. Milo spent his final years living life to the fullest while taking care of his wife Patricia, despite suffering from melanoma and lymphoma himself. Milo was born December 27, 1931 in Sacramento, CA. He was a graduate of C.K. McClatchy High School and Sacramento City College. He earned a dental degree in 1956 from UCSF. Following dental school, Milo joined the Army and was stationed in Orleans, France. It was there that he began practicing dentistry and started a lifelong love affair with all things French, particularly great food, wine and beer. In September 1958, Milo returned to Sacramento and established his practice in Oak Park. He later moved his practice to East Sac, a move that allowed him to commute daily by bicycle. Milo spent his time off sailing, hiking, and skiing. It was his love of skiing that led him to meet his wife Pat at Tamarack Ski Club. Pat and Milo married on March 21, 1964 and soon had two boys. Pat and Milo and their two boys enjoyed biking, skiing, camping, back packing in and around Tahoe and Donner Lakes. They also enjoyed traveling the world with family and friends. Milo served in the Sacramento Chapter of the Rotarians Club and volunteered as a docent at the Sacramento Railroad Museum. Together, Pat and Milo were active in their churches, Fremont Presbyterian and University Presbyterian, as well as the Tamarack and California Kandahar Ski Clubs. Milo was predeceased by Patricia, his beloved wife of 53 years, and his parents Milo and Ruth Hewitt. He is survived by his sons David and Paul and four grandsons, Carson, Jacob, Samson, and Maxwell. Services will be held at Fremont Presbyterian Church on Friday, October 27th at 11:00 AM. A reception will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Melanoma Research Foundation, 1411 K Street, NW Suite 800, Washington, DC 20005.
