Mitchell had numerous health issues but never let them get to him. I have never seen a man go through so much physically, yet get up every day to start his day with a smile on his face. He was the light of my life. The day he died I died a little because he was my soulmate and I know my life will never be the same without him but in another sense, I was truly blessed to have had him in my life and know that God put him there for a reason. He touched the lives of so many. He gave so much and asked for so little. He has left a great impact on those he's left behind and his life, smile and his love for sports and fishing will forever live in our minds and hearts.
