We didn’t know each other until late in Mitch’s life, but I always admired his work and was so glad I got to tell him so. I treasure the copy of his memoir that he gave to me as a wonderful memory and one of my regrets was that I never saw his stage work
Rest in Peace dear Mitch. You are remembered.

I offer my deepest sympathy to the family of Ryan Mitchell. I LOVED his role in Dharma and Greg. It was one of my favorite tv shows and I was thrilled to catch all the episodes again recently on Hulu. A naturally funny actor in that role but I’m sure all the roles he played were just as good. Thank you for sharing him with the world. May God give your family comfort and peace as you mourn his loss. Philippians 4:7
