Mitchell Crager

Mr. Mitchell Crager, 69, of Chatom, AL passed from this life Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at his residence. He was born in State Line, MS on Thursday, August 9, 1956, to the late D. J. and Dean Crager. He was a member of Chicora Baptist Church. He retired as an Insulator for BE&K.
Mitchell will always be remembered for his gentle spirit and smile that would light up the room, and his unending love for his wife, his girls and grandchildren. Mitchell enjoyed life to the fullest, spending time with his precious grandchildren, going on trips, and time at the river with friends and family. He also enjoyed turkey hunting, fishing, and tending to the farm.
He was a simple, hard-working man that loved with his whole heart. If you stayed around him for long, you were sure to hear a story about the grands at some point. His love for the Lord was no secret either. In everything he did he put his faith first and his family second. His memory will always be cherished by those who knew and loved him.
