Milan Erik Jones
February 8, 1991 – February 27, 2025
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, was unexpectedly taken from us on February 27, 2025.
Milan graduated from McCook High School in 2009, at which time he returned to Omaha where he entered the workforce and spent his free time surrounded by his family and friends—including the countless friends he made via video game communities. Milan worked in various jobs, but one consistent theme emerged: helping others. He was gifted with leadership skills that guided so many of his coworkers to success. He loved being a leader and dedicating his time to his work.
A dedicated and talented person, Milan taught himself Japanese and Spanish; just an example of how whenever Milan became curious and set his mind to something, there’s nothing that could get in his way. An avid traveler, Milan was passionate about experiencing new cultures and never shied away from new adventures.
Those close to Milan describe him as a “kind-hearted person,” who truly embodied a “ray of sunshine,” emitting a bright, shining light in everyone’s lives.
Milan was a cherished brother to Morgan, Abigail, and Ethan. They could always count on Milan to have their backs, regardless the circumstances.
Milan was preceded in death by his grandfather, James Manning.
Milan is survived by his parents, Kelly (Manning) Boner and Jason Boner, Warrell Erik Jones; siblings, Morgan (Jones) Erwin and Tyler Erwin, Abigail Boner, and Ethan Boner. Nephew Jack Erwin. Grandparents, Janice Manning, Barbara Jones and Warrell Jones; Rod and Linda Rooney, and numerous Aunts, Uncles, cousins and countless friends. And we can’t forget his two beloved cats, Table and Chair.
His family and loved ones will miss his beautiful soul.
