Mitchell Joseph Cummings

There´s not a day that goes by without thinking about you brother sooner than later, I will see your face again, just save a place for me. I might need it.

Mitch was my friend and ski buddy in high school. His love for life and physical ability was amazing. He and I went Salt Lake to ski for a week. I could not keep up with him skiing! A week after we got back to Tucson, Mitch called me asking me to move to Salt Lake. I couldnt pick up and leave. Mitch was one of the mist upbeat, hard working people I've ever known. Miss you Mitch! RIP

Soon brother soon!

Met Mitch on job here in gorge such a great roofer. His enthusiasm was infectious Thanks for the memories.

I miss you more than anyone will ever know! There´s not a day goes by that your memory does not pass through my mind! Love you

Thank you to all for the wonderful remarks about my son. I will miss him terribly every day for he was the son every mother dreams of having. Warm loving and very tender. What can I say except I hope he finds his little brother and shares the wind with him.
Love you Mitchell

Being an old friend of Mitchell's Dad and living in California, I only had the opportunity of meeting Mitchell one time. That's really all that it took to feel as though you'd known him all of your life. Our brief meeting was in 1978, which would have made Mitch about 18 years old. His Dad and I dropped in on him while he was working at a pool hall near the college in Tucson. A very handsome and friendly young man, very much the gentleman with a wonderfully open and engaging smile. The love...

I was stunned to hear of Mitch's accident and passing away from kiting. I met and worked with Mitch here in the gorge in 1990 and would see him every year when he would visit after that. I shared his enthusiasm for kiting.So sad to learn yesterday of his accident.I'll think of him this summer.

When I am gone, release me, let me go.I have so many things to see and do, so many people to meet. You must not tie yourself to me with tears; be thankful for our many beautiful years and memories.

I gave to you my love in my own ways...many not even known to you. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness and love. I thank you for each love you have shown and given; but now...now it is time I...
