Matthew P. Milone 1955-2025

He was born Nov. 22, 1955, in Warren, the beloved son of Paul and Mary Spencer Milone.

Matt graduated from Howland High School, Class of 1973; he continued on to the Pittsburgh School of Arts, which led to his career as a graphic artist.

He worked at various prestigious firms from coast to coast. One of the many highlights in his career was receiving the Clio Award for a commercial he created in Columbia, South Carolina.

Outside of work, Matt had many interests, along with his art. His biggest passions were being with his family and friends and exploring nature. He found joy in music, movies, hiking, camping, photography, and a beach with a mask and snorkel in hand. Known for his kind heart, Matt never met a person or animal he didn’t like.
