Obituary of Milo Quinn Pendragon Yamaoka

Milo's character sheet was started on June 27, 1990, in Salt Lake City, UT. Born to parents Anthony Hansen and JoEllen Peterson, Milo rolled high stat bonuses in Charisma, Constitution, and Wisdom. He attended Kearns High School and worked for Netflix, where he was heavily involved with the Trans* ERG. He was married for six years to Preston Yamaoka, with whom he had a daughter, Kyoko. In 2020, he became engaged to Kieran Pridgeon and moved to Saint John, New Brunswick, to join a new campaign in the Frozen North.

An avid cosplayer, artist, and award-winning author, working under the pen name xkingofgamesx, Milo was known for drawing fan art for Yu-Gi-Oh!, and writing Harry Potter and TMNT slashfics. In 2015, his incredible Miyamoto Usagi cosplay gained acclaim from the character's creator, Stan Sakai. Milo will be remembered for his fierce advocacy for equal rights for transgender people, for his distinct and infectious laugh, and for being a huge freaking geek.

Milo was preceded in death by his father, Anthony. He is survived by his fiancé Kieran; daughter Kyoko; ex-husband Preston; mother JoEllen and husband; siblings Micki Jo (Joseph Kyle), Meghann (Jason), Andrew, Elizabeth (Tyler); and many, many step-siblings, niblings, and extended family members.
