On Saturday October 5, 2019, Milton Leon Reimers, loving husband and father of 3, passed away at the age of 82.
Milton was born January 12, 1937 in Dripping Springs, Texas to Willie and Millie Reimers. Milton was raised on the Reimers Ranch in western Travis County. Milton graduated from Sam Houston State University in 1958 with a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture. On January 21, 1959 he married Joy Yvonne Willie and they had 3 children; 2 daughters, Lorinda and Dianne and a son, Randy. Milton worked for Texas Wildlife Damage Management Service at Texas A&M for 20 years.
Milton Reimers meant so much to so many. He loved ranching, hunting, fishing, riding around his ranch in his buggy and being on his tractor. Milton and his wife, Joy, ran Reimers Ranch on Hamilton Pool Road for over 50 years, as a cattle, sheep and goat ranch. But the ranch is best known for its fishing, rock climbing and mountain bike trails. Milton and Joy sold a large portion of the Ranch to Travis County in 2005 and the Travis County Milton Reimers Ranch Park was created. It is the largest park in Travis County.
