He also enjoyed skiing and reading. Mitch was an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan since he was in junior high school. In 2019, Mitch had the great privilege to attend a Chiefs’ game in Kansas City with his son, Nathan.

My prayers are with you and your family. I knew Nathan many years ago. I babysat his kids when he was a single father. He was a gentle soul. Take care of you and remember everyone grieves in their own way. Give yourself grace. I lost my husband to stupid cancer in October of last year. You will get through this.
