Mitchell Howard Heller (Melech ben Mayor v’Leah) died in his sleep early Friday morning April 17th , 2026.
He leaves behind his beloved wife of 52 years Debbie, daughters Tovah (Erick), and Jennifer (Ryan), and four grandchildren Cooper, Asher, Ethan, and Lynneah.
Mitchell was an avid sportsman playing hockey, golf, pickleball and softball throughout his childhood and well into adulthood. He loved to be part of a team whether through sports or in the community via the condo board where he lived. He was always working to bring people together and make lives better for everyone. He loved to chat, and if you met him once, you were instantly considered a friend. This loss has left a hole in the Natick community. We will carry on in his name through volunteer work and community outreach, which was his passion.
A graveside services will be held at Beit Olam Cemetery, 60 Old Sudbury Rd., Wayland on Monday April 20th at 11:00am.
A luncheon will follow the service at the home of Tovah and Erick Bakstran through 4pm.
Shiva will be at the home of Debbie Heller on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to: Hebrew SeniorLife, Development Office, 1200 Centre Street, Boston, MA 02131 (please note NewBridge on the Charles in the memo line).
