Victor Mitmoen, 73, of Kenosha passed away December 29, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Victor was born on March 16, 1952, in Canton, S.D., the son of the late Vernon and LaVerne (Hill) Mitmoen. He was educated in the schools of WI, MN, IN and received his bachelor's degree in technical arts from Purdue University and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity. Victor was a beloved "workshop" teacher for Kenosha Unified School District at various junior highs for 33 years. He was an independent dealer for Amsoil, known as "Mr. Amsoil." Victor was a member of St. Mary's Lutheran Church and Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church. He was also a member of the Four Seasons Garden Club. Annually for Arbor Day the club would have a tree planting ceremony in which he portrayed Johnny Appleseed at various elementary schools. Victor became an Eagle Scout which is the highest rank in boy scouts then became a Scout Master for troop 533 which guided other boys to become Eagle Scouts. His hobbies included cooking, water skiing, boating, Eagle Scout, cheering for the Green Bay Packers, woodworking, was a very hands-on man and a jack of all trades, but most of all he loved spending time with his friends and family especially with his grandchildren.

Survivors include his fiancée, Rosemary Thompson of Kenosha; children, Sharon (Bob) Grazier of Kenosha, Deanna (James) Hawlish of Kenosha, Paul Gascoigne of Kenosha, Mark Mitmoen of Florence, KY; brother, John (Mika) Mitmoen of Middleton, WI; sister, Arlene (Will) Gross of Valparaiso, IN; also included are his grandchildren, Abigail, Allison, James, Colin, Jonah and Joseph. Victor was preceded in death by his parents.

For years after teaching he would get great enjoyment hearing from former students, scouts, their families and coworkers. The encounters would always begin "hello Mr. Mitmoen, remember me?".  Please feel free to share the memories you have of Victor.

Due to circumstances out of the families control, a memorial service has been cancelled for March 14, 2026.

Service for Victor has been held at Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church (1700 S Green Bay Rd, Racine, WI 53406) on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
