David Young Milazzo AIA

February 27, 1945 - September 19, 2020

David was born in Bakersfield to Anthony Alfred Milazzo and Reeba Allen Young. All four of David’s grandparents immigrated to America through Ellis Island in the early 1900’s. David attended Hueneme High School before Bakersfield College. In 1965, he enlisted in the USAF. He was stationed in Germany for 30 months and was decorated by the French Government for the rescue of a French soldier. He finished his service at Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam, on a critical care surgical ward treating battle field wounds. Between Germany and Vietnam, he married Linda, the daughter of Willard and Mozelle Gold. In 1970, David and Linda moved to SLO where David completed a Bachelor of Architecture degree at Cal Poly, SLO. After graduation, David and Linda spent a year in the Ventura area where their son, David Anthony was born. Soon they returned to Bakersfield where David continued to work in Architecture. He eventually went to work with Bob Clement as Bob’s chief designer. After Licensing, David became a partner of the firm Clement/Milazzo where they produced a number of well known commercial buildings for several years. Along the way, David volunteered his time to countless groups and organizations. In 1979, David opened his own firm, Milazzo & Associates. David is a Past President of Bakersfield North Rotary, and was later appointed to several District positions. He was a member of the local AIA and is a Past President. He also served on the State Licensing Commission interviewing Architectural candidates for licensing. In October of 1998 he received the Italian Heritage Dante Association Columbian Award. David had a magnetic personality that made people want to know him. He was kind and generous with his time especially when he thought he could assist someone in their career. David is survived by his loving wife, Linda; son David Anthony, daughter in law Leighann, and precious Granddaughter Gianna Linae. David is also survived by his brother, Paul and sister-in-law, Claudia as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his sister, Sally. David’s life was cut short by his volunteer service in Vietnam 1968 -1969 and his exposure to Agent Orange. He loved Architecture and was devastated when he found out he had to give up his life long passion. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions to a special fund established in David’s memory to benefit the Architectural Program at BC. Contributions can be mailed to: The Bakersfield College Foundation, 1801 Panorama Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93305 or visit SupportBC.org.
