Mitchell Long Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mitch graduated from Mission Valley High School, Eskridge KS, in 1986 and pursued his passion for Drafting & Mechanical Arts at Salina Area Technical School, earning his certification. He also obtained his Associated of Arts from Cloud County Community College.
Mitch's professional journey began with Wilson and Associates in Salina, KS. His adventurous spirt took him to Lexington, KY where he thrived as Lead Project Draftsman for the Mapping and Aerial Department of GRW. Mitch's dedication and talent earned him a promotion to Head of Mapping and Aerial, where he also took on project sales. His career continued to flourish at SAMS Corp. In April 2024 he began work for SurvTech Solutions, Surveying and Mapping LLC, located in Florida, as a Project/Manager/Business Development.
Mitch's life was a celebration of family, friendship, and community. He cherished his loved ones and was a steadfast friend to many. Mitch's heart was full of love for family and friends.
In his earlier years, Mitch enjoyed playing golf, driving fast cars, and being the life of the party. As he grew older, he found joy in target shooting, reading, woodworking, and dreaming of becoming a farmer on his cherished 40 acres in Alabama upon retirement.
Mitch's vibrant spirit and kind heart touched many lives. Though he is no longer with us, his memory will forever inspire those who knew and loved him.
Mitch was preceded in death by his father Jimmie O. Long.
He is survived by his mother and stepfather, Vernalee and Jerry Olson of Marquette, KS, sister Shelley Long of Wichita, KS, aunt and uncle Wanda and Odell Long of Gordon, KY, aunt Judy Brewer of Topeka, KS, step brothers Russel Olson of Oklahoma City, OK and Jerry Lee Olson of Eudora, KS and step sister, Katrina Hyman of Salina, KS, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

My deepest condolences and sympathy to Mitch's family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Mitch during his time at GRW and was very saddened to hear this news. Mitch was not only a dedicated worker, but as kind and friendly of a person that you could ever meet. He knew how to make people laugh even in the toughest of situations and will be missed by many.
