Sean Mitchell Obituary

Sean Patrick Mitchell

God called his angel Sean Patrick Mitchell to be with him Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Sean was born to Eric and Debbie Mitchell on June 26, 1987. He was known to all as a big lovable teddy bear. He spent a vast majority of his life caring and giving to those around him. He began volunteering with Mt. Hermon Volunteer Fire Department, which led him into his chosen career with Emergency Medical Services. First aid certification instructor, EMS captain, Paramedic, brother, son, friend and rock are just few of the titles this amazing young man held in his short life. His bright smile and warm spirit touched many lives and his sudden passing leaves a gaping hole in many of our lives.

He is survived by his parents, Eric and Debbie Mitchell of Danville Virginia, a sister, Erica Deann Mitchell of Charlotte, NC, maternal grandmother, Helen Clark of Danville Virginia, his girlfriend, Megan Donovant of Reidsville, NC and many close friends. He is predeceased by grandfathers, Wesley Clark and Larry Mitchell, and a paternal grandmother, Rebecca Mitchell.

The family will be receiving friends at Shermont Baptist Church on Friday, March 2, 2012 from 7:00-8:30 PM. Funeral services will be held at Shermont Baptist Church on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 11:00 AM with the Reverend Ryan Riley officiating. Interment will follow at Danville Memorial Gardens. At other times the family will be receiving friends at the residence at 541 Poplar Trace all other times. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials may be made to Mount Hermon Fire & Rescue, 4268 Franklin Turnpike, Danville, VA 24541.

Townes Funeral Home and Crematory, 215 West Main Street is serving the Mitchell family. www.townesfuneralhome.com Sign the guest book at www.GoDanRiver.com

I first met Sean while he attended PCTC and what a sweet, kind and like someone said, a Teddy Bear of a guy! Always a big smile and a hug! Sean continued to come back after he graduated and helped with the training classes at PCTC and their EMT class. Still the big smile and a hug. Sean will be missed deeply and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. May your memories be held tight and never leave you, it's the one thing God leaves us when he calls a loved one home. God Bless you sweet angel, you will be missed.

Our hearts go out to you as we have all lost a special child of the King, Sean. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. Sean is now rejoicing eternally with his personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, along with all of our loved ones who have gone on before us. One day we will all be reunited to live together forever with our Savior. We will be praying for you in the days ahead that God, in His amazing grace, will wrap His arms around you all with His everlasting love and we know that for Sean time will be no more but eternal bliss with Jesus.

A Paramedic's Life


No two days may be counted on
For things to be the same
The routine jobs completed
Then comes the waiting game

The mind is set on ready
Whether sleeping or awake
Time's the constant enemy
The difference it can make

Some days it crawls so slowly
But still alert you stay
Then someone's time is running out
As seconds charge away

Adrenaline is pumping
Your race against time starts
Your intellect's in action
with controlled, chaotic parts

Precision, skill and timing
You use them all, but yet
Each call could be the one from hell
Your heart won't soon forget

Your shift then ends, and finally
You're able to relax
Time relents it's power
And soon you're back on track

You will return another day
No two will be alike
For God still writes each ending
In a paramedic's life

We have many good memories of Sean. Lisa remembers taking care of him in the nursery at church. One of my favorite memories was Sean driving Doug around and taking him to church. Our memories are precious but no bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lisa McCall

March 3, 2012

From the time I met Sean I knew he was something special. Let's admit it, God doesn't make them that good everyday. He was a true friend that I loved deeply and a brother to my husband George. I always referred to Sean, George, and Kyle as the 3 muskateers and Ryan was a welcomed addition to the bunch. The brotherhood they share is like no other I have witnessed. Sean's family and friends will remain in my prayers. Megan no words can explain how sorry I am that your time with Sean was short, even a lifetime with him wouldn't have been enough. GOD bless you Sean, you will be deeply missed

Eric,Debbie and Erica, Just wanted you to know that we will be praying that God will comfort you as only he can do. We were devastated to hear about Sean. He was such a sweet and kind person always with that sweet and caring smile on his face. I thought back to the first time I remember that smile and it was on a field trip at Mt. Hermon with him and Jacob. Jacob and Justin both thought so much of Sean and every time I saw him he always ask about them too. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Karen and Floyd Thompson

Brittany Hallman

March 2, 2012

You are missed dearly, Sean. Most of my time spent with you was when we were young, but even then you were the kindest, most caring and charming fella. Erica and I would brag about how one day you would be the "perfect" husband. I know you are in a much better place now, but those you've left behind have a hard time accepting such a shocking loss of such a wonderful, YOUNG person. Praying for comfort and healing of your loved ones.

I taught Sean at Tunstall High School for several years, and although many, many students have been through my classes, he was one that I will always remember. He was such a kind, compassionate, and polite young man! He set a great example for other students, and I always enjoyed his enthusiasm in class. I was so proud of him when I heard he was pursuing his dream of helping others in the medical field. My deeepest sympathies to the family and friends who will miss him so. Malia Turner-THS

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, or one more bear hug, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you left so soon, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. Praying for the Mitchell family, your girlfriend Megan, friends and your EMS families…..Love Cindy Marlowe

Sean became a member of our family though my nephew George. There was never a time that if you seen one there was the other. Many were the times we would be at Pino's they would come in and they would always eat and than say they were going somewhere and as always I'd be saying call and be careful. There are so many memoaries that will stay with you until we see him again cherish them. God has reason for all things. I pray for you and your family. May God comfort and guide you in your hours of need. Know that Sean was a special person who will be missed by all.

These Hands

These hands have touched the warmth of life
These hands have touched the icy emptiness of death

These hands have felt the numbing pain of the sick injured
These hands have soothed their petrifying fears

These hands have desperately grabbed for life slipping away
These hands have felt anger at senseless death

These hands have searched for answers
These hands have seen comfort in another's eyes from an outreached hand

These hands find happiness in living
These hands find joy in helping others

These hands passionately hold onto the hope that they never have to do it again
These hands live with the reality they will

These hands have made a difference

Sean made a difference in the lives of so many people! He was loved and will be missed by many! He had a heart of gold and a desire to help those in need. I will miss his smiles and kind words. He has a special place in heaven!
