Donald E. Mutschler

Donald Mutschler, 74, of Minneapolis, Kansas, passed away Wednesday, February 19th, 2025 with family by his side.

Don was born in Burlington, Kansas on February 5, 1951, a son of Leona Hattie (Anschutz) and Richard Herbert Mutschler.

He achieved Eagle Scout Honors and the skills he learned in scouting, remained his core values throughout his life. God, Country, Love, and Dedication were words he lived by. Don had strong beliefs and faith in God was central to who he was.

Working was a driving force in his life. He was a man of many hobbies and interests, including small carpentry work to building houses. He worked for Forgey-Allen, George Place, and retired from KDOT after decades as a land surveyor and bridge inspector.

Once his grandchildren came along, they were his focus. He was always incredibly involved in their daily lives, attended every event they were involved in, and could always be found at the table for Sunday suppers.

Survivors include his daughter, Megan Chase (Andy), of Miltonvale, Kansas; grandchildren, Kye Chase and Kyndra Chase.

Don is also survived by his sister, Elaine Riedl, of Brighton, Colorado; two brothers, Paul Mutschler, of Delphos, Kansas, Harold Mutschler (Glenda), of Gypsum, Kansas.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Leona and Richard Mutschler; brother-in-law, Jon Riedl; and sister-in-law, Gwen Mutschler.

I just found out about Don.  We were such good friends, then lost touch.  Rode many many miles together on our motorcycles.  I am so sad to hear this.  Lots of memories.  Thanks Don...

I only knew Don for one year, but saw him at the 55th gathering in 2024, the first time in 57 years. For those who knew him well, I envy you. From my abbreviated time, he was as kind and gentle a person as one could hope to find. So long, Don.

Don was a good friend and a genuinely good person. He was best man at Janet's and my wedding and Godfather to our oldest son.
Rode with him, hunted with him and spent hours just talking with him. Even when he lived in the Salina area, he would call and come by or we would go see him. Less frequently as time went by. He invited us out last Fall but we just didn't get it done. A missed opportunity for more memories.
RIP my friend, you will be missed.
