Milt was born in Salt Lake City on April 7, 1932, the eldest son of Milton Vern and Dorothy Armstrong Halton. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Milt attended Salt Lake City schools, graduating from West High School in 1950. He served in the U. S. Army during the Korean War. Following his military service, he was employed by Mountain Bell as a Civil Engineer. Following retirement, he worked as a consultant for the Thomas and Betts company.

Milt loved the outdoors and spending time at his cabin in the beautiful mountains of Utah. He was a fixture in Weber Canyon where he made many lifelong friends over the past 50-plus years - visiting, snowmobiling and working on each other's cabin.
