Mylo was born August 18, 1933 in Coleharbor, ND to Adolf and Margaret (Kempf) Mehlhoff. He served in the United States Army during the Korean War.

Mylo started at the North Dakota Highway Patrol in 1959, working in Minnewauken, Devils Lake, Dickinson, Minot, Williston, Bismarck, and Mandan. Hard working and dedicated, he worked his way up to the rank of Major and the position of Field Force Commander. After retiring from the patrol following 30 years of service, he became the Director of Driver’s License and Traffic Safety at the ND Department of Transportation. Mylo was especially proud of being honored by the Standing Rock Sioux nation for the work he did with them on Tribal Traffic Safety programs.
Well-loved and fun to be around, Mylo often enjoyed coffee and fellowship with his friends. He was a ND history buff, enjoyed attending art shows, hunting, and was a registered auctioneer. Generous and giving of his time, he was a member of First Lutheran Church in Mandan and served as Church Council President. A loving husband, father, and grandfather, he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
