Milen Speckman

d. November 10, 2010

Milen L. Speckman age 70, of Ashland, OH and formerly of Sleepy Eye peacefully passed away after a two year battle with pancreatic cancer. Milen was born and raised in Sleepy Eye, MN. After completing high school he enlisted in the United States Air force and served his country for 22 years. Most of his military career was at GFAFB, Grand Forks ND, where he raised his family. After his retirement from the military he relocated to southern Minnesota where he worked in the field of heating and cooling. He chose to retire in Ashland, Ohio to be closer to his grandchildren. Throughout his retirement he continued to serve his fellow veterans by being an active member of the VFW, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans and participating in the honor guard. He held many administrative positions including commander of the VFW in both East Grand Forks and New Ulm. In addition to caring for his family he enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, and cooking. He was preceded in death by his parents, Melvin and Carol (Todnem). He is survived by his daughters: Kristen (Alex) Rios Chicago, Il and Kerry Hart Ashland, OH. He leaves behind his beloved grandchildren: Yvonne, Kyle, Konner, Jose, JaNae, Kelynn and Milen. In addition, his siblings: Judy (Tom) Wilkenson, Calvin Roxanne), Keevin (Alana), Haven (Annie), Mervin (Laurie) and aunts, Angaila Essig and Carol Todnem. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of North Central Ohio, 1050 Dauch Drive, Ashland Ohio 44805. Without their support and care, we would not have been able to have his wishes fulfilled. A memorial garden will be dedicated in Milen's name.
