Atlanta lost one of its longtime beloved DJs on Dec. 7.
Mix Master Mitch, born Gary Mitchell, died of Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer, as announced by his cousin and legendary Atlanta radio host, SiMan Baby.
“For once, I’m at a loss for words,” SiMan, born Silas Alexander, posted on social media after Mitchell’s death.
In recent months, Alexander and Mitchell have hosted the “Cousins with Cancer” podcast.
Stage 4 pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival rate of 1%, according to John Hopkins Medicine. It’s the same disease former Congressman John Lewis and “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek died of, as first noted by 11 Alive.
