Guy Robert Thomas Milbrath

Guy Robert Thomas Milbrath peacefully passed away on June 5th, 2024. Born on July 27th, 2005, almost four months premature, he spent his early years in Cresco, IA before relocating with his family to Mankato, MN. A senior at Mankato East High School, Guy defied the odds daily, challenging conventions throughout his life and puzzling even world renown medical teams.

Despite significant chronic illness and being diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Guy's love for life was evident and beautiful. He would greet you with a smile and a giggle, and even if it was at 4am, his happiness was infectious.   He cherished chocolate, Elmo, and potato oles above all else, his expressive face a testament to his joy.  Guy radiated joy, but had plenty of sass and stubbornness to balance. If he didn’t want to do his school work or eat his vegetables, he made sure his feelings were known! 

Guy brightened the lives of those around him. His absence leaves a void in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.  

Guy is survived by his parents, Justin and Kelli Milbrath, and brother Landon Schlangen of North Mankato, MN; grandparents Brenda Kammer of Crystal, MN and Dan and Marlys Milbrath of Okabena, MN; Uncles and Aunts Michael (Gosia) Kammer, TJ (Laura) Kammer, Mike (Jodi) Milbrath, Angela (Ron) Winter, Melissa (Landon) Erickson, and many great aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, and loved ones.   

Guy will be welcomed on the other side by his maternal grandfather, Tom Kammer.

Celebration of Life Service will be held at 1:00 p.m., Tuesday June 18, 2024 at Northview-North Mankato Mortuary. Visitation one hour before the service on Tuesday.
