Ken Mitchell, a co-worker and friend, passed away April 19th, 2008, as a result of a tragic cycling accident while on vacation in Bolivia.
Ken was a Principal in the firm's Long Beach office and had been with the Wertz & Company team since joining us in January of 2001 as a result of our merger with Goodban and Walsh. He was known for his great work ethic, high integrity and desire to provide quality professional service to his clients.
Ken's love for life, his gregarious manner and his passion for adventure took him to many places throughout the world. Ken's own family described him as an adventurer and a world traveler! He always went without any itinerary and liked to stay in places where he became ingrained in the local communities he was visiting. His last trip was an example of this passion.
We know that Ken's relationship with his clients was of the utmost importance to him and it is our goal to continue this tradition.

I had the good fortune of having met Ken through our association with Corbin & Wertz - his firm, Goodban & Walsh merged with ours in the early 2000's. I got the opportunity to know him better as I split time between our Irvine and Long Beach offices. He was always a "crack up" and the life of the office. Never saw him in a bad mood. Always smiling and positive. I eventually moved on to start my own business but would run into Ken at the Starbucks on Orangethrope & Harbor in Fullerton as we were getting our morning cup of joe. Thank you Ken for having been a friend in my life.
