    Wilke family, so sorry to hear about your loss. Mitch was actually my baseball coach many years ago, and then I had the pleasure of coaching both with and against him. It was always a great deal of fun and we became good friends over the years. I always enjoyed bumping into him around town and chatting for even just a minute. Our thoughts are with all of you in this time of sorrow.

    Almighty God promise at Revelation 21:4, that “he (God) will wipe away all our tears. And death, pain, and sorrow will be no more”
    So you can take great comfort in drawing close to God in prayer.( Psalm 46:1) And he will sustain and help support your families
    to endure during these difficult times. My deepest condolences to all of your loved ones.

    So sorry for the loss of Mitch. He will be missed by so many. He was my boss for 6 years and possessed a lot of great qualities. He never seemed to complained about anything. It seems like he enjoyed being around people and doing the job that he did. It hurts to see that he didn’t get to have more than 1 year of retirement. I am sure he is looking down on all of us with that smile that use to greet us with at work everyday. May god bless him and all of the loved ones he has left behind.

    The Mitchell C. Wilke I knew, from high school, days, as a friend of his sister, Heather, was an extraordinary spirit. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. Mitch was the most positive, upbeat and loyal friend my brother, Jeffrey,ever had. He was loved by everyone who knew him. and will be mourned by them all. Rest in peace, dear Mitchell. You left us way, way too soon. .
