Marilyn, Bryant, Hannah, Collin, Heidi and Austin, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your dad had such a positive impact on so many people. It has been 20 years since I worked at the Drug Store, but not a week has gone by since then that I do not sit back and think how lucky I was to be able to call your dad a friend. I know I am not alone on that thought. Heaven got a lot brighter today. Thank you Mike for everything, we love you and will never forget you.

Goodhue, MN (1/29/2014)
To everyone in Mike's family, my deepest sympathies. Mike was one of the kindest people I have have ever known. From when I knew him in high school to the last time I went through Wall and stopped in at the drugstore, Mike always had time for his friends. No matter how much time had passed between times I saw him, you would think I had just seen him the day before. God bless all of you, and comfort you. I know Mike was a man of faith, and I have no doubt he is in Heaven, probably praying for all of us.

Marilyn and kids, When I think of Mike I think of a very caring and giving man. I also think of his sense of humor, the not knowing if he was serious or not. Marilyn you two were such a great match and all of you kids each have the loving, caring and giving parts of your Dad & Mom because they are so much alike. We lost a special person here on earth and God gained another angel.

Wall (1/29/2014)
Marilyn and family, When I think of Mike it is of a caring, loving & giving person. That is what made Mike & Marilyn such a great couple, they are so much alike.

We lost a special person on earth and God gained another Angel in Heaven.

Milesville, SD (1/29/2014)
The loss of Mike is heart-wrenching, not so much for him (as he loved The Lord with a solid faith), but for us left behind. There is one more star in Heaven. He was a mentor and friend for many years, and as a department head at The Store I witnessed his quiet manner and quick wit over the years. He was the glue that held so many areas of the store together under Rick and Ted's leadership. When I worked in Wall as a kid from Minnesota years ago, Grandpa Ted and Bill always told me that they were so very proud to have Mike on their staff. He was counselor, moral advisor, sports fanatic, and an awesome father who loved his family above all else. And do not forget his sense of humor which could break a serious situation down into its component parts and make you feel healed and refreshed. I will miss you my friend. My wife and our contingent from Minnesota and Wisconsin will pay you your eternal respects in person. God Bless Marilyn and the children, for Mike's legacy will live on for many decades to come, in Wall and around America. He touched many people in his "ministry" of hope and kindness. May Jesus and the Angels embrace You for Eternity. Mike was the definition of evangelism and a great example to all. May he enjoy eternity. Bill and Ted have a Wall Drug in the Sky now. God Bless the Huethers

Deepest sympathy to Mike's family... including his store family and the entire Wall community. I worked at the store years ago starting in 93. I have traveled back through the last couple of summers with our kids on our way west. I was fortunate to have had a chance to visit with Mike on both of those occasions. It has been over 15 years since I was employed there but to Mike it could have been yesterday as he still greeted me with a hug and smile... that sincere and genuine smile. Gone way to soon...
~ Kristi (Nelson) Renner
Minnesota (1/29/2014)
Marilyn and family.......We grieve with you over the loss of such an outstanding man . Through our tears we remember how Mike touched our lives and left his mark. We are the lucky ones to have known him and shared time in his life. I believe we will see his spirit in days to come, as we witness good deeds done, we will think of him and smile, and know that this ordinary man did extraordinary work by God's design. He won't be forgotten. My thoughts are with you all and the hope of comfort for you . Anne

I remember meeting Mike and Marilyn at our daughter, Katey's wedding to Brian Ortlieb in November of 2000. Mike was a groomsman at the wedding and since that day has ALWAYS greeted us with a smile and sat to visit with us each and every time we visited Wall Drug. He was a stellar man, a good friend and faithful servant. Our thoughts and prayers to all.

My prayers go out the entire family. The world has lost an angel. I only knew Mike for a short period of time and i am hurting so much. He provided employment for this Jamaican girl who was in need of a summer job in usa. I will never forget the opportunity he provided me with and all the great people i met. He was truly a wonderful person. He was always smiling and making jokes at work it was just so refreshing to have a boss so cheerful and nice. I am glad i met this such a wonderful man. I pray for strength and hope for his entire family. I know he is somewhere resting in Gods arms.

I am still in shock over the news of Mike. He holds a very special place in my heart. Through the years from the time I left for college to the present time a trip to the drug store included seeing if Mike was working so we could reconnect. He was truly a great man and one of the nicest I will ever know. My daughter Lynn has fond memories of Mike through the years including him introducing her to the backyard Trex before it was open to the public. He will be missed but the memories of Mike will live on.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

There are those people you meet in your life that always make you smile when you think of them. Mike was definately one of them. I worked at a wall Drug for several seasons and enjoyed seeing Mike's smile and friendly greetings. Everyone who ever had the privilege of knowing your husband, father and friend was truly blessed. God be with you all!

All that knew Mike can consider ourselves "touched by an angel"! His journey here was "too short" for us, but His Lord's plan is a magnificent one and Mike is walking the "High Road" just like he always did here. How I will miss him on my visits back home. Dawn

Marilyn and family, I met Mike when I bought Affordable Adventures Tours out of Rapid City. Mike was always there with smile and a hug for me when I brought tour guests to Wall Drug for lunch. We all felt so welcome by his genuinely warm smile and greeting. He was such a cheerful and positive man and I am so sad that he won't be there anymore. But, I trust his spirit will be. My heart reaches out to you and your family at this sad time. God Bless you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Huethers and the entire Wall Drug family. My wife Jodi and I met at Wall Drug in the '90s, and nearly every time we've been back, Mike has spotted us, stopped what he was doing, and chatted with us and the kids just to catch up. He was warm and generous with his time, and we will miss him. May God speed his soul to heaven, and grant peace and consolation to his family.

Marilyn & Family; I am a former employee of Wall Drug and Tyler Swift's sister. Mike will be greatly missed by those that knew him. He was a mentor to me back in the days of working at Wall Drug. He is one of the reasons I have good customer service skills as he taught me the right and wrong way. Even after I had quit working at Wall Drug when my husband I stopped to visit he was always there with a warm smile and no matter how busy he was took time to catch up with us. Know that all of you are in our thought and prayers in the days to come.

Wall (1/29/2014)
The first time we met Mike was when we took our daughter to Wall to work there at the store during the summer. After a few minutes of talking with him we felt comfortable and assured that she could not be working under a better supervisor in a better place. Mike continued to prove that as fact. Each year we encouraged her to work there because of such good people as Mike. It was obvious that Mike cared for people. We were shocked and saddened when we heard the news. It seems as though it were yesterday that we met him. It still does not seem possible that such a great man has left us. How we wish there were more like him. His example continues to serve as an example to us on how to treat people. We are thankful for the impact he has had and continues to have in our lives.
Some have lived and died as though they never lived, but Mike is one lived and died as though he never died. His impacting legacy lives on.
