I noticed that Mike is receiving a posthumous award from LABI (well deserved) and was shocked that he had past away. I got to know Mike in 2008 and 2009, as we worked together on workforce development redesign. Mike devoted countless hours to improving our state, and I am honored to have served with him in helping align our educational and training resources to create sustainable, life changing opportunities for our citizens. May God bless him and his family, and may he Rest In Peace.

Jere, I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. We were suitemates at SLU. We had been out of touch for many years and we recently reconnected in July. I have contacted the SLU Alumni Association to notify them. They annually hold a Golden Silence Ceremony in March and they will send you an invitation to attend. I will also try to attend for Mike.
I hope you are comforted knowing that Mike is home with his Heavenly Father.
How you can show support

Mike's passion for free enterprise is a great source of inspiration. He was a givergenerously investing his time, heart and wisdom for the betterment of the small business community through the many organizations where he was a respected leader; the SBAC, NSBA, NFIB, LABI, etc. As a fellow small business owner, Mike was my advocacy mentor. He was relentless and determined on issues, yet always a humble gentleman for whom everyone had the greatest respect. Although small business advocacy was the main focus of our interactions, and it was always fun to talk cars with Mike, it was the chats about his family that made it very clear what was Mike's greatest love. What an honor it was to know and work with Mike!

Mike was a true friend to the business community and to his LABI friends. I had known and worked with Mike for over 30 years. A better, more intelligent, or nicer man you would never meet. Was proud to call him friend. So sad to read of his passing. Sincere condolences to his family of whom he was so proud. Many prayers coming your way.

I have worked for others my entire career, all different kinds of folks in a variety of circumstances. I have worked as staff support for Chairman Mike Mitternight on the Small Business Advisory Council for the past two years and have known Mr. Mike for several years before that. Needless to say when I learned of his vast experience and countless accolades for superior work, I was intimidated to begin my work as his staff support. Well, that concern was unfounded. Mr. Mike was a true gentleman, a wealth of knowledge and knew everybody-if he didn't know them he made it his business to know them. We hit it off early, he grinned when he talked of family, was so proud of his company and employees, loved his auto restorations but mostly loved helping people. He did that through his passionate advocacy for worker training and small business support and in so many ways that we won't ever know about. He was a great teacher, I have learned much from him-I will miss my Chairman and my friend. May God provide comfort to his family.
