Mr. Ed Mitchell

The industry mourns the passing of Mr. Ed Mitchell, long-time CEO of Mascot Homes.

Mr. Mitchell was a charter member of the SC Manufactured Housing Hall of Fame and a member of the national MH Hall of Fame as well.

As the founder of Mascot Homes in Spartanburg County, Ed played a pioneering role in manufactured home an...d modular home manufacturing in South Carolina. He served as Chair of the MHISC Board of Directors. Active and well-respected in the political world, Ed Mitchell was a friend of key government leaders in Columbia and Washington and served in important posts such as the SC Highway Commission.

The manufactured and modular home industries benefitted for decades from Mr. Mitchell's good name and political clout. He worked for positive legislation to move the industry forward and was a key early supporter for the creation of the SC Manufactured Housing Board, the state agency which regulates the industry.

Mr. Mitchell produced a home known nationally for its high quality construction. He operated sales centers around the state and was an early proponent of subdivision development with his homes.

The prayers and thoughts of the industry go out to Faye and all of the Mitchell family. Tentative arrangements are for visitation Wednesday night and services Thursday. Details will be published on MHISC's Facebook and Blog. Both locations can be easily accessed on the home page for www.mhisc.com.
