Not sure what to say?

I loved Mitch as a very good friend at the YMCA West where we exercised with other of his good friends in the family pool and talked about important topics.. He was very kind, understand a lot about what is happening in the society and the world in a kind way. I regard him as a favorite friend. I will keep him and his family in my daily prayers. I believe in positive prayer for people to help people who are alive or who have past away. R.I.P. Mitch. You will be remembered forever as being a...

His smile was so contagious, he always had that laugh! He was probably the nicest, easy going, non judgmental guy I ever met, he will be deeply missed.

I knew Mitch from the YMCA. I actually looked forward to exercising at the pool on the days I knew he would be there. His smiling face always acknowledged and welcomed everyone that arrived to exercise. We would all be included in his lively conversations. I didn’t know him well but I knew him well enough to know he was an exceptional man and he will be missed.

Mitch was truly a wonderful guy who had a great way with people and was as kind a man as you would ever meet he was a great sport and an Awesome guy. Someone who I truly respected. He will be missed. God Bless you ol friend.

I am heartbroken over a young man who I’ve only met maybe twice, but always knew what a sweetheart—wonderful son, husband and brother he was. Along with my deepest sympathy and most fervent prayers for his family, I am offering all my love and compassion to everyone who will miss him forever. This world has lost a gem, much loved by everyone who knew him!

Mitch was a man who knew no strangers. He had so much love to give and shared it with all. He loved life, family, friends and especially Anne and Travis. He was a man with the highest integrity and will sadly be missed.

I will miss our talks, your wisdom, your big heart, your even bigger sense of humor. I cherish every single “I love you” we shared at the end and every smile you continued to give. Every thing about our family is forever changed. It is hard to imagine future gatherings without you there. I know you are going to help guide us through it. Love you always

To know Mitch was to love him! Anne and Travis, you were so blessed to have had Mitch in your life. He was an amazing man. Always remember he lived life a wonderful life and did it His Way! I will forever cherish all the wonderful memories.

So sorry to hear about Mitch. Fly high cousin.
