Mitchell Mars Obituary

Jennifer and Family,
I am so deeply sorry to hear about Mitch's passing. He was a wonderful man, erudite, extremely funny, and a very caring person. I met him while he was in law school, and the fun our group of guys and girls shared for a short time are very special memories. Mitch was always focused on what he wanted to achieve, and he succeeded. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was sorry to hear of Mitch Mars passing. I saw him in court and I always thought what a smart smooth person he was. He was a natural at doing his job. I thought he seemed to be a very kind person and fair as could be. Everyone he ever knew will have a great loss of his physical being but will have a great memory of who he was in their hearts forever.

Jennifer, my sincerest sympathy for your loss. I have nothing but fond memories of you both. Please know that the thoughts of many are with you.

It was hard for me hear and harder to accept that Mitch Mars is no longer in the world. The glint in his eye, sharp sense of humor and gentle laugh we all remember from law school will always be with me. He loved truth, laughed at pretense and lived a life that makes me proud to have known him as a friend. May God be with you Jennifer and all of the family.

Mitch Mars was a true hero and a patriot. He was an ideal role model and touched the lives of people he never met. I wish I had the chance to actually meet him. My sympathies to his family.

Connie,
My sincere and heartfelt sympathy is extended to you and the family. I pray that you find comfort in the fact that Mitch really made a difference while here, and is now with our Lord and Saviour.

I knew Mitch from working in the Dirksen Building - he was always so pleasant and kind. It was a great shock to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to his family.

One of the finest men I ever met. A great human being and a great lawyer.

To the Mars family,
The Standing Room Only family(one of his lunch spots for years)would like to extend their sympathy.He will be missed.May God bless you in these trying times.

Jennifer & Family:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones during this time. I worked with Mitch in the 1980's as a secretary at the Strike Force. He was the consummate professional and had a sharp legal mind. I remember how funny he could be. He will be missed terribly. Please know that Mitchell will be remembered fondly by all the people with whom he came in contact.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. I was schocked to learn of Mitch's passing, just after completing the successful prosecution of his career case. He surely was a dedicated Prosecutor, and his sense of humor made him so easy to work with during my days at IRS, CID, from which I retired in 1994. Mitch was truly a Team Player in working cases that required a lot of coordination between different Federal Agencies. He will be sorely missed at the US Attorney's Office. Please take comfort in knowing that Mitch has gone on to his reward in Heaven for being an Honest and dedicated Prosecutor.

To Jennifer and the Mars Family:

I am so sorry to hear this news - please accept my condolences. I had only met Mitch a few times but he always seemed like a "good guy".

As a retired INS agent, I had the distinct pleasure to work briefly with Mitch, who was the nicest, kindest person, you would ever want to meet. My prayers are with Mitch, his family, friends and co-workers.

Jennifer,
Our hearts are saddened for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers.

My father always spoke of Mr. Mars in glowing terms. The respect that he had for Mr. Mars spoke volumes to me about what type of individual he truly was.

To the Mars family. Our family extends our deepest sympathies and prayers to you all. God Bless you.

I am so saddened to hear of Mitch's passing. I worked as a Strike Force secretary in the late 70's and early 80's and will always remember Mitch's dedication to his work and great sense of humor. He was truly one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I am so sorry for your loss and extend my deepest sympathies to his family, friends and co-workers.

I was shocked when I read of the passing of Mitch Mars today. I knew
Mitch when I worked at the US Attorneys Office. He was one of the nicest guys I met in Federal service or anywhere else. My sympathies to his family.

To Jennifer and family:
Mitch,
What a blessing to have known you and worked with you shortly after law school. Always with an engaging smile, sharp as a tack, tight lipped as a recoiled turtle, funnier than a comic book, you were a positive professional and one of the most prolific legal talents and trial strategists I have ever met. I'll miss your sly smile. My prayers are with Jennifer and your family.

he was the consumate dedicated civil servant and a great attorney.Condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

Mitch was a special person and if not for him, I would never have been given closure and peace. He never gave up. My deepest condolences go out to you, your family and friends and to all who worked with him. He will be sorely missed by all he came in contact with.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mitch will be so missed by all here that had the privilege to work with him.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Mitch; a person who I had worked with while assigned to the Chicago Office, FBI and deeply respected and admired. I returned to Chicago to tesify in the Mob Trial and watched Mitch as he successfully prosecuted the mob leadership. A feat that will go down in Chicago history. Much more, he was a great guy who lived practicing honor and integrity. May God bless you and your family in your time of sorrow.

May your loving memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Your husband, your son has shown us the true value of truth, trust and honesty. He has given these values to us thru his unserlfishness. He has given me a strong trust from the short period of time that I had met him but he has left a mark in my life that I am proud to say I have met and known Mitchell A. Mars he IS a SHINING STAR.

Words cannot describe my sorrow at reading the news about Mitch. I will always remember his kindness to me. My deepest sympathy to Jennifer and Mitch's family.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

A job well done -

My sympathy,

I was shocked to hear of the death of Mitch Mars.

I want to say one of my HONORED memories was being invited and sitting and talking with Mitch, at the new FBI office Christmas party in Dec/06.

The memory of Mitch will live on in my mind, through each article I read in my life in regards to organized crime where the great Prosecutors and FBI agents continue to fight it.

I know his KNOWLEDGE and GREAT LEADERSHIP has been passed on.

Thank You, GOD for the time you have lent him to us. It has been greatly appreciated.

My THOUGHTS and PRAYERS go out to his family and colleagues.

Sincerely,
T. MCINTYRE

A dedicated civil servant and great attorney...Condolences to his family and friends....He will be missed

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
