Obituary

Mitchell Louis Mohlmann of Livingston, Wisconsin, passed away on August 26, 2025. He is known for being a humble, kind, caring, and loyal man. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, from 10:00 AM – Noon, Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at the Melby Funeral Home & Crematory, Platteville.  Private family graveside services will be held at Greenwood Cemetery, Platteville.  Online condolences can be made at www.melbyfh.com.

Mitchell was born on June 23, 1951, in Iowa County, Wisc., to Lillian (Mueller) and Louis Mohlmann Jr. Mitch had three brothers, Louis III, Randy, and Rodney.  He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Rodney, Brenda Harrington (partner of Louis III), and Karen Steffen, who was the love of his life. They were together for approximately 28 years. He is survived by his brothers, Louis Mohlmann III, Randy Mohlmann, Randy's children - Morgan (Nate) Hauser, Dane Mohlmann, and Jordan Mohlmann, his maternal uncle Gene Mueller, and cousins.

His chosen children are Karen's kids - Margaret (Roy) Heisz, Suzanne Coulthard, Lynn (Scott) Groth, and Brett (Janet) Steffen. Mitch was lovingly called Grandpa Mitch by their children.

Mitch spent most of his life working on farms in the Platteville area, including many years on the Ruth Bellmeyer Farm on Highway 80. He was proud to be a farmer and loved handling dairy cows. When he left farming to work at the Lactalis Cheese Factory. He maintained his connection with the land through his large garden. Mitch was also an entrepreneur who owned an over-the-road trucking company and maintained rental properties.

Although Mitch proudly lived in Wisconsin for his whole life, he also enjoyed traveling. He took major trips to places like Thailand and Hawaii as well as to places in America like the Badlands, Chicago, Iowa, Las Vegas, Oklahoma, Texas, and certainly to Gays Mills for apples. His last major trip was a family trip to St. Louis and provided an opportunity to explore the Gateway Arch.

Chores were a daily occurrence that never stopped. We take comfort in sharing that he was in the process of completing his last chore of the day when he passed. He has probably already started on a daily chore list for heaven and will soon have a celestial garden planted. We will miss and love Mitch forever.

He loved my sister and she loved him. Her kids were his, their children his grands, and great grands. He was included in it all and loved every second. He and Karen proved square dancing wasn't just for squares as they enjoyed it for years. They were involved in many couple activities as long as they were able. I miss her and now I shall miss him.

I knew Mitch from school. He was a man of few words, and he was a man without guile. He brought so much to this Earth during his life. His eulogy is a beautiful tribute to a special person. Rest in peace.
