John Mitchell was dearly loved by all of his family members. He had a warm and caring heart and was always ready to lend a helping hand to his parents, his sister and his beloved nephew, Jason. He will be missed by all of his family and friends. But, I know that he is looking down from heaven asking God to bless us all and, surely, John Mitchell will be waiting for his loved ones at the heavenly gate.

I would like to offer my heartfelt condolances to John's entire family.
I remember him from the time he was in a teenager in high school. Even at that age he was already a very responsible,capable and hardworking person beyond his years. Johnny always had a kind word for everyone. He also always seemed to make himself available to help his Grandma Walsh in her golden years. As stated in his formal obiturary, he had an incredibly kind heart. I will keep him in my prayers.
God Bless Johnny.
