Mila Acevedo was a rare and intelligent unicorn. She was smart, funny, genuine, and incredibly thoughtful. Mila always did her best to help others, whether it be by setting up a tutoring program for dyslexic youth in santa cruz, or simply lending a shoulder to cry on. Mila had this profound ability of being able to see the good in every person she met. She could find the tiniest flicker in the blackest soul. She was the kindest person and always willing to give her precious time and energy to those in need of it. She loved to to ride motorcycles and had been riding since the tender age of 7yrs old. She loved the freeing feeling of handling a bike and hungered for more speed. Mila had an insatiable love for learning and was forever seeking out knowledge about everything around her. As part of her love for helping others and sharing knowledge, Mila dreamed of setting up a riding/ mechanic school geared towards helping women be more independent. As beautiful inside as she was out, this sweet and brave woman survived years of abuse and came out the other end still able to find reasons to smile and with a determination to enrich the lives of everyone around her. Mila attended University of Santa Cruz and majored in Economics and spent some time modeling. At 33yrs old, Mila had a full life that ended on a rainbow high of absolute acceptance and love. She was a fighter and someone that cultivated reverence, love, and friendship wherever she went. She leaves behind an absence that cannot be filled and will be missed and remembered for the rest of our lives. Full send!
