David Mitchell Bishop Jr., or just Mitch to anyone who knew him, was always a mixed bag of a person who might be ornery in one moment and have the sweetest thing to say the very next. He was honest to a fault, but thoughtful and really considered how he made people feel. His kindness and empathy, his willingness to consider other perspectives is something to be cherished. He will be in our memories forever and will live on in our hearts.
