He will be deeply missed  by his two brothers, Deacon Ben Soileau and wife, Donna and Greg Soileau and wife, Darlene, all of Ville Platte; nephew, John Ben Soileau, III; and nieces, Jessica Soileau, Jennifer Veillon, Hillary Meyer, and numerous great nephews and nieces.  Mitch is preceded in death by his parents, John B.
