Joshua MITCHELL Obituary
Joshua James Mitchell (Josh) age 19 of Greenacres, Florida passed away unexpectedly on March 30, 2015 together with his life long friend, Jessie Rendon. Josh was an Eagle Scout, Troop 202, and enjoyed many adventures. Josh lived too short of a life, but did so much in those short years. Caving, kayaking, kite boarding, hiking the Florida Trails, trips to the Georgia mountains, sailing the seas in Key West, indoor skydiving, seeing snow for the first time in the Smokies, whitewater rafting and being on the big screen in Times Square with his brother. Josh loved his 4 wheel drive pick up trucks and loved to find a mud hole to get into whenever the opportunity was available. Josh was predeceased by his grandparents, John and Polly Kraszewski and Thelma Mitchell. Survivors include his mother and father, Kathy and Jaydean Mitchell, brother, John Paul Mitchell; his uncles, Ted Kraszewski (Barbara), Bridgeville, DE, Paul Kraszewski, Ocala, FL and his aunts, Barbara Pettaway (Winson), Southampton, NY, Donna Joe Farrar, Deltona, FL and Sara Adkins, Jamestown, TN. Many cousins and too many friends to count. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 1:00 p.m., at the Masonic Lodge, 2000 North "D" Street, Lake Worth, FL. All are welcome.

RIP Josh! Continued prayers for your family. You were always hanging out outside smiling, enjoying life and you were more respectful than some of the other teenagers in our area. A nice young man taken too early but everything is in Gods time.

Our deepest sympathies to all of you. The loss of a child is unimaginable. We have memories of the cabin, frogging and the cleaning of them, airboat rides and sleeping late after a night out on the lake. He did do a lot in his young life! We are grateful that our family was able to meet him when he came to Ocala for Thanksgiving several years ago. Please know that you are in our prayers.
