Tio Mitch,

Didn't know you well, but the things I heard about you were always positive. Wish we could have known each other a little better. Rest well

Little Brother Mitch;

Though we have been separated by miles these many years, my memories of our youger days are very clear as though they were yesterday. We have been through some tough times, however we always seemed to make light of those times and made them a learning experience. I will always remeber the good laughs we all had as a family. Every tragedy we faced made our family stronger, and it will continue to be strong. Our parents instilled the values, which we instill in our children. Even though some of us won't always be there, we know that those left behind will make the best of what is placed before them. Mitch, I won't say goodbye. Until we meet again, save me a spot at the pond and you and Dad don't catch all the fish. Love you and miss you SID.

Dear Mitch,

Even though your gone I think about you a lot and wanted you to know that you will be missed and loved for the rest of my life and the others who loved you. The memories that we have I will charish them forever. Maybe we can both keep an eye on the Giants and The Fourty Niners and root for the home team together. With all my love your nephew Jesus Segura

Mitch,

It would not have been appropriate for me to be there but I was proud to have my family represented by my sons, Dameon, Joshua, and Dominic. You were in the thoughts of Joleah and I.

Your friends and family were blessed to have been a part of your earthly life and now your journey has taken you to your eternal life. You left some great memories and we will always remember you. We are all better people for having known you.

God gave your children the most wonderful father, your wife a great husband, your siblings the best brother, and your parents, a good son.

It only goes to show that God knows what he is doing and he only takes the best.

Rest in peace, Mitch.

Diana and Joleah Becerra

I am so glad that Mitch and the family moved to Patterson and I got to be a part of their lives. I miss seeing him getting his coffee (at the donut shop)in the morning and giving me a hug. I miss his contagious smile as well. But I will be strong (or try to) for Tina and the kids.

One of the first officers to become such a good friend. We had many laughs together. I will miss your mischieveous grin and great demeanor. You were one of a kind, and will not be forgotten. Thanks for being a true and loyal friend to all who knew you.

An angel on earth and now an angel in heaven. I promise to watch over your children and your wife (my dear sister) forever. You are the first person that I have lost in my family and selfishly I must say that the pain is horrific. I cry every day, even though I know you are with Jesus in heaven where there is no pain, no sorrow and no sadness. I know one day you will greet me at the gates in heaven when Jesus takes me.

Ducks, deer, the smell of coffee, 7 layer bean dip and potato salad, Easter egg hunts, the entire city of Campbell, peace officers, children, my sister . . .all of these things remind me of you.

You will never be forgotten. I love you and miss you.

Your baby sister,

Kristi

APRIL 19TH 2003...

Tio Mitch...even if it has only been 9 days, your passing has hurt more than I ever expected.its like a part of me is missing...my life can never be the same. i know you're watching us all from above...all in shock and grief, and i know...you're hurting just as much as we are. we all miss you, more and more each day...and even if in the future it seems like...we are over it, and have forgotten you, you will still be....that part of our family, as if you never left to begin with. at first it was like a nightmare, i was waiting to awake from...until i realized..that this time its real, you are gone....god chose you before every1 else to leave...and no one quite understands why...i wasn't be there...for one last goodbye..and this is as best as i can do. hoping that somewhere up above you are reading this and watching me...to make sure everything will be alright. so to everyone in my family who is hurting right now... i am there with you... crying the tears that are falling from your face... and i feel the hurt in you heart you are feeling right this second. ...to my tio...i miss you..i love you... and one day we will meet again... just promise.. that you will be waiting....you are my angel...

I regret that I did not meet Mitch sooner that I did. He was such a kindhearted person who cared a great deal for his family (he talked about his six kids ALL the time!)...and he had a way of making you comfortable with him poring into your personal life (hahahaha). My kids and husband enjoyed his company during his visit to our home. In my 4 year old daughter's words, "The angels will take real good care of him." Tina and kids, may your memories bring you comfort in this difficult time. Mitch was a good man...

He will be missed at all of our family functions but most of all at Moms come december to help make tamales, but don't worry we put a few for Tio because we all know how much he loves Moms tamales. Love To You All Always, Helen, George and Kids
