David C. Mitchell

Kathy, I just found out about Dave's passing. We are so sorry for you and your family. You have our deepest sympathy. We just got back from California I am just shocked. God bless you.

Kathy and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy.

My condolences to Kathy, Matt, Jennifer and family. Dave was a good man, and a good father.
I won't forget the days when we coached the boys cross country teams and the fun we had.
RIP my friend. Jack Athey

Sending my deepest sympathy.

Kathy, Dave and I have been friends or almost 46 years. I knew them their entire married life. My heart aches for Kathy and her family. Dave was such a kind and thoughtful person. The two of them have become a part of my heart & I will miss him forever. I am so very sorry Kathy. I am praying that God will hold you in his loving arms and bring you peace and comfort.

Dave was what we in the trade call a pup, at the Davis Bessie fab shop in the 1970's. I was only 10 years older than him, but we fit in with the older tradesmen. So it is no suprise to me that he was so well liked buy everyone.
RIP my friend
Charlie Leininger

Please accept my deepest condolences to the family. I knew the Mitchell family, as I live next to their childhood farm in Milan. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

My heart aches for Dave's wife and family. He was one of the finest people I have met in all my years working with the United Association. We had fun every time I came to Vermillion, and I'm glad we stayed in touch. He had so much integrity and stood steadfastly for what is right and good in the labor movement. He was funny, thoughtful, kind, generous and so much more. He should have had a 30-year retirement. He is gone much too young. There are no words of comfort that can ease the pain Kathy and the family feel right now. I just want to express my heartfelt condolences and share my voice with others in praise of Dave and all he achieved and stood for in his life. A truly great person.

I was saddened to hear of Dave's passing. I knew him from various Organizing meetings and worked with him on several Organizing projects. I new him to be a conscientious, worker and friend. I know Dave will be missed by a lot of people.

Miss you already and love you so very much Dave! I know your with God now and looking over all of us! You were a Dad to me in many ways and I will always hold that true to my heart! God bless you and all you have touched in this world. Love always your second Son Tony Neuhoff!

Dave and I were colleagues and friends. We taught in the welding department at Terra State Community College in Fremont, OH for 9 years.

Dave was a good friend and highly competent welder and teacher. Dave was loved by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

I want to send my condolences to Dave's wife, children, friends and other family members. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless each and every one of you always.

Jenny, Kathy, Matt and Family, I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. It was an honor to know Dave (aka Jenny's dad). The many years at Sandy Shores that we spent together have always stayed with me. Dave was always a fun "dad" to hang out with. My trips to Vermilion to stay with you will never be forgotten. I love you,Janelle Schneider (Patterson)

Sorry for your loss, your family is in my prayers.

Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express what you and your family is going through. I want you to know I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with Dave. Dave was a very dedicated hard working person always working to improve his UA Brothers lives. His life was a "blessing" to us all. He will be sorely missed. May God watch over your family in this difficult time. God Bless

I am beyond words to learn of David's sudden passing. My heart grieves for your loss. I always enjoyed his comments about how much he loved his family and how proud he was of them. He was a good man and one of integrity. I was blessed to have known him as a classmate and friend. He will be greatly missed. May the following verses bring you comfort during this difficult time.

What must it be to step on shore and find itHEAVEN;
To take hold a hand and find itGOD'S HAND;
To breathe a new air and find itCELESTIAL AIR;
To feel invigorated, and find itIMMORTALITY;
To sail from the care and turmoil of earth
To one unbroken calm;
To land there and find itGLORY.

Although it is difficult to look beyond the sorrow.
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Dave would make a point of saying Hi to me when he came to the JATC building for the Local 42 Health & Welfare meetings. That was very nice of him. It meant something to me that he took the time to just say Hi. He will be sorely missed by all. I will miss his nod, smile and Hi. Thank you, Nancy J., JATC Administrator Local 42

I'm so sorry for your lost. You and your family will be in my prayers. Paulette Kuhnle

Kathy, Jenny, Matt & Family, We are so sorry to learn of Dave's passing. We will always remember Dave as a sincere, respectful fun loving guy.

Jen - Chad and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time. We are so very sorry. xoxo

I stand with many others that carry heavy hearts today upon hearing of the passing of Dave. From a business perspective, he was the type of man that improved any Board or organization that he participated in with his unique way of seeing all sides of an issue in a level-headed manner. From a personal perspective, Dave was someone that genuinely cared about people from all walks of life and took pride in representing their best interests. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all family members who lent him to us during work days for so many years.

It is with a very heavy heart that I extend my condolences to Kathy and the family. As Apprentice Coordinator at the college, Dave was instrumental sharing his love of welding and skills with our students and loved by local 50 and 42 family. Admired by students and coworkers, his sharp wit and smile will be remembered by all. I considered him a great friend and co-worker. Knowing his culinary expertise, I had just called on him for dinner recommendations in Vermilion. He was excited to kick off our START program but even more excited to spend the summer with his family. I promise to try the stuffed artichokes at Touche in Vermilion! Cheers to the best heavy metal welder I was lucky enough to know!

Our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
