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.
