Mitchell, aka "Pa," was a man who loved life. You never knew what would come out of his mouth, but one thing was for sure, you knew it was going to be funny. Always a man to speak his mind, he definitely did it his way. Those that knew him best knew that his heart was as big as his personality. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was an avid fisherman and would go whenever he had a chance. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Visitation with the family will be Thursday December 19th, 2019 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Woodfin Memorial Chapel with funeral services to follow at 1:00 PM. Burial will follow at Evergreen Cemetery.
