Dearest Mitch,I have always loved you and Glenn on Swamp People. I always check to see if" the brothers " were gonna be on. Swamp People won't ever be the same or as good without " the brothers " May God's Blessings be always upon your family and friends 

You have touched many lives,and you have shown us the true value of life by what you do living off the swamp,the companion you,your brother and sister have shown,and you guys are just so down to earth,funny to the fullest,and I can't thank you enough for your devotion,and showing us just a little of who you all are. I still watch the show,and always will.My heart,prayers, love go out to all of you.Sincerly Gail.

Were from Greeley,Colorado, and forever have loved you guys and now our hearts are broken, alway looked forward to seeing both the brother's,,,, always in our heart's 

Glen I know the pain of losing a brother as I write this the tears falls from my eyes. I too lost my brother at a young age. I know this is just thousands of letters you will receive but I would truly love to meet you in person. We are about the same age I think this would give me me closure to the greef I have felt over the the years. Meeting someone  is in the same boat as I am. God bless you brother.


Wow!!How the time flies!!Met you as an over the road trucker in 2011!!Myself and my co - driver had a flat and our company was being very slow in getting someone to come help us change the spare tire as we didn't have the tools to do it ourselves.You said give me a few mins and I'll be back to help.Came walking back 10 mins later carrying probably 100lbs in tools and not only helped change the tire,but did it mostly on your own and almost wouldn't let us help.You wouldn't accept a dime,just asked that we do the same for someone else and thanked us for the job of transporting items to the people of the u.s.a.....what a human being.One of the classiest fellas I've ever met!!Rest sweetly in Heaven my friend!!

The show hasn't been the same without you Mithell. Glen i know it has to be hard for you.

Its hard to believe that its been 5 years, I'm a big fan of the show. I miss not seeing you with your brother. RIP

The  boys made the show.  Haven't watched it since Mitchell's death.  Death came way to early.  Best of luck to Glen.  those two  boys were not only good for the show, but I met were solid citizens also.  RIP Mitchell.

Gone but not forgotten Mitchell  Guist.....I hope your doing okay Glenn, my family watch yalls videos..love yall..

hi mitchhell you are sorely missed by a nation of people who watch swamp people you and your brother glenn were a fantastic pair and excellent fishermen together hope your doing plenty of fishing in heaven mitchell rest peacefully regards martin and family from ireland

Will always miss you Mitch!!!!!!!!Was Blessed to have know you!! Betty

You are hereo to us all that live in the swamp,I am so glad I had the honor of meeting you and leaning from you.Thank you for the wonderful memories.

So very sorry for your loss, Mitch may you keep bare footing wherever you land at, never know might be a lot of squirrels there.  My thoughts to the family especially his brother and best friend Glenn.

Glenn and Mitchell feel like part of our family and we miss Mitchell so very much. Mitchell we know your smiling down over the swamp while hanging out with your family and friends that went before you. Glenn you're in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. All our love,
Christy and Eric Warfel

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

I only just heard the news a few days ago.. I didnt.. or just couldnt believe it, hoping it was just made up & not really true, but there on the internet was the news. Watching Mitchell and Glenn every week was my favoritist part of swamp people, always hoping they were on that weeks episode. Watching there funny antic's they became like a part of the family,so the passing of Mitchell was like losing a favorite uncle. I will always remember him laughing and having fun with Glenn. My most favorite memory will always be when they got dressed and all ready to go out hunting, then sitting down on the porch to shoot squirrels! I will miss you, but always remember your cheekiness!

I will remember Mitchell Guist for his genuinely honest dedication to his family.

I felt so sad on receiving the news of Mitch's death. It is very unfortunate that I only knew of his death last week when last year's epiosodes were aired in this part of the world.

I truly enjoyed watching then, and will sorely miss him.

I pray that his brother Glenn musters courage to go on.

I feel very sorry for your loss I hope God gives you the strength to carry on I believe that a person can die of a broken heart Your brother might not be there in body but I believe he is with you in spirit a connection like yours cannot be broken there will be times that you will feel your brother is there you just have to let yourself feel his presence and hopefully you'll be able to find some peace god bless you and help you deal with the rest of your life

My wife and I are sad to hear of Mitchell's passing. He and his brother Glenn were such a "hoot" to watch and hear. Our thoughts and prayers are with Glenn and his family...The Lord will comfort you in this difficult time.

It's been almost a year now. You two were obviously close and I could tell by watching you both on the show. I've never seen anyone that could laugh about any situation. We can all learn a thing or two from you. Mitchell is with God now and you WILL see him again.

You and your brother were the best part of swamp people I looked forward every week hoping that you would be on. I was hoping the history channel would do a spin off series just about you and glen. Rest in peace Mitchell loved you.

Glenn Guist and family, the lost of Mitchell is a blow to me. You and Mitchell have been apart of many conversations four the past few years now. I enjoyed the laughter you guys bought to the table and the love for family y'all displayed. Country to the bone. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Mitchell may you rest in peace.

May God continue to comfort each of Mitchell's family members and friends. We will keep you in our prayers, now and especially in May of 2013. God's Blessings to Glenn. We loved watching the brothers on the TV series. They brought us loving laughter.

Love, thoughts and prayers go out for the family and friends of Mitch.  May you rest in peace.  Glenn, our thoughts and prayers are with you.  I know how hard it is to lose a brother, as I lost my little brother December 18, 2012.  My heart goes out to you.  You're little brother will always be with you.

Glenn, I have just read about your brother, Mitch's, passing.  I too lost my baby brother in April 2012.  May both their souls rest in peace.  We still enjoy the swamp shows as they are so entertaining without any bickering.  We will miss Mitch.  May He hold you in the palm of His hands.

Mitchell and Glenn are my favorites on the Swamp People show. I grew up in the country as a young girl. They remind me a little of my own up bringing.
Living off the land the way the two brothers did is an inspiration to us all to not take more than we need to survive. My thoughts are with Glenn and his entire family.

sorry to hear about mitchell.the show will not be the same.my pryaers is with the family.

My heart is heavy. Althoughm I never met you your country charm was a breath of fresh air. My heartfelt pryaers go to the Guist family   

Judy Logan

Sorry for your Brothers passing i have never seen two brothers get along so good and just have a good old God Bless and he will be missed on the show.

My condolences to the Guist Family. Swamp People will not be the same without you Mitchell. You made us laugh along with your brother Glenn. You and your brother brought some comedy relief to the show that made the show worth watching. You will be sadly missed. Our prayers are with you and your family. Especially Glenn. I hope Glenn will carry on with the show in your memory and legacy.

Rest In Peace Mitchell

So sorry to hear of Mitchell;s death.  He will saddly be missed.  We love what he and Glen brought to the show.

Hello Glenn thank you for sharing your life and character with your brother Mitchell we loved the show and our prayers are with you always hope to see you carry on the show that's only if you want to if not many of us truly understand your lost.

These guys are great for the show. Gone way to soon. Seems like Glenn looked up to Mitchell, I know his death is still hard on him. My heart goes out to the Guist family.  I can only imagine how far their success would have gone.  Troy is still my favorite.  I guess because he is the "star" of the show and we were introduced to him first. The Guist brother were not introduced until season 2. I would loved to have spent a weekend with them on the bayou.  I connected with them right away.  Living off the land, and keeping that alive, just like us Lumbee Indians.  I have a friend (Jimmy Brayboy) that is about the same age and look of these guys.  He has a beer with him all the time and is always upbeat and happy.  Plus he can cook good to.  For that reason I think I connect to Mitchell and Glenn.  I don't personally know any of the cast members, but I feel like I could just walk in their house and they would say, "grab you a chair, rest ya bone." "You want something to eat?" "Man, I made some killer rabbit stew."  RIP Mitchell.

I am so sorry to hear of Mitchell's passing.  I do not personally know your family, but I felt through The History Channel, the Guist family was a part of our family.  I send my prayers and love to you and may God help you in your time of sorrow.  Mitchell will be dearly missed.

i live in ireland and would like to send you my greastes sympathy on the loss of mitchell he was a brilliant chacter on swamp people and i know he will be a great loss to his family and all who watch that brilliant programme swamp people. yours martin keogh
