Sad to report the death of veteran Atlanta air personality Gary Mitchell (aka DJ Mix Master Mitch) Tuesday morning after a battle with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Mitchell was 56. According to WSB-TV, DJ Mix Master Mitch was born at Grady Memorial Hospital and grew up in Atlanta. He graduated from Mays High School in 1983 and began his decades-long radio career. Mitchell entertained audiences on KISS 104.1 and Classix 102.9.

"I've always been an entertainer. I've always loved the microphone ya know I would get out there with promotions and get on the mic and act crazy and people would laugh," Mitchell told Channel 2 Action News earlier this year.

WSB reports that as of Wednesday morning, memorial arrangements for Mitchell have not been announced.
