Robert Neil Milligan

LINCOLN, NH - Robert Neil Milligan, 50, of Catlett, VA passed away suddenly on July 9, 2017 in Lincoln, NH after a fun filled day participating in Warren Old Home Days and riding with his ATV buddies. Robert was born on December 21, 1966 in Arlington, VA to Robert D. Milligan and Mary A. Maillet. He was a graduate of Bishop Dennis J. O'Connell High School. Following in his father's footsteps, he became an amateur radio operator (KA4PWS), participating in Field Days, giving demonstrations of Boy Scout Clubs, and aeronautical acrobatic air competition of vintage planes. Robert worked for Fairfax Virginia County Government for over 30 years as an Information Technology Manager for the Human Resources Department. He received many awards over the years including Employee of the year for Network Administration for many consecutive years. Continuing with his computer skills he owned RNM Solutions and enjoyed establishing many friendships while helping others learn the way of Information Technology. His favorite sport was wilderness ATV/RTVs riding, adventures with his fellow enthusiasts, especially if it was a Poker Run supporting the local cancer foundation or for a local family cause whether for cancer or other local needs. He developed and was the administrator for ATVWild.com which has world-wide membership. He also donated his hair each year to Locks for Love. He had the natural ability to befriend the people he came in contact with, and touched the lives of so many different people. He also had a contagious energy about him that will be impossible to replicate. Robert was also a true gentleman in every sense of the word and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was always ready with a helping hand to accomplish any task and overcome any problems facing those in need around him. Although he was not himself a father, he served as a father figure to many of those around him. He was especially proud of his niece Maggie. Surviving members are his mother, Mary Milligan, brothers, Leonard of Catlett, Michael of Richmond, a sister Frances Meeker-Pickerill (David) a special Niece, Margaret Rose (Maggie) Meeker of Manassas, companion Sherry Loenichen and lots of ATV/RTV buddies. He is predeceased by his grandparents, Neil and Mary (Tiernan) Maillet, and Richard and Vangie (Lyon) Milligan; and father, Robert D. Milligan. Burial will be at a later date at Stonewall Memorial Gardens, Manassas, VA. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in his memory to Groveton Thrift Shop, 9 State Street, P.O.
