He concluded his earthly journey to join friends and family in the afterlife on January 10, 2011. Milorad is survived by his wife Nada, daughters Mirjana (Marko Markovic), Natalie (James Speer), and Elizabeth, and his grandchildren James and Evan. Milorad was a lively spirit who enjoyed spending time with friends and family, cooking and working in his garden. From his humble beginnings in Serbia, Milorad forged his life's path with great personal strength and determination that lead him to Croatia, Italy, France and Canada before he packed up the family and drove across the United States in search of the California dream. He settled with his family in the Sacramento area in 1976. Milorad will always be remembered for his tremendous love of family and friends, his contagious joie de vivre and the great joy he brought to all those who knew him.
