BM3 Clif Mitchell
To my best friend, the man who stuck by me all these years and made me
see that I could do anything.....you left us to early. Clif died in May
of this year, while living in his hometown of Wilmington NC. He was last
stationed at ISC Kodiak AK.

I only recently learned of his tragic passing of last
may. I still remember him as if I saw him yesterday.
Clif worked with me at support center Kodiak- Military
police in 1994. He was the most honorable and
trustworthy of all the MP’s there. Always a smile,
full of respect for others and constantly polite. He
never displayed a mean spirit, nor spoke ill of others.
There were only a few Coasties that I could trust
my life with, and he was one of them. Clif could often
be found on his days off at auto-hobby helping
others. His incredible knowledge of auto mechanics was
sought by many. We had many memorable
times in Kodiak; hunting, fishing & four-wheeling. We
did a lot of crazy things together and I’m glad
Clif was there to keep me out of trouble. Prior to
Kodiak, Clif was a member of the CGC White Lupine
in Rockland, Me. Clif was laid to rest in a Veterans
cemetery with full military honors not far from his
home and family near Wilmington, NC. I was blessed to
have known him, and now very sad about his departure.
A true friend that I’ll never forget. I am happy to
know that I will see him again someday on
that other shore….
