Anthony Wayne Mitchell, the son of the late Ralph Mitchell and Gertrude Spann Mitchell, was born on June 10, 1953 in Winston-Salem, N.C. He received his formal education in the Winston-Salem/ Forsyth School System, attended Atkins High School and was a proud member of the "1972 Class that Never Was". After the closing of Atkins as a high school, he enrolled at North Forsyth High School where he graduated in 1972. He held membership with Great Commission Community Church Inc. He loved to read the Winston-Salem Journal which was ideal since his vocation was that of a press operator with the city's major newspaper. He retired from the Journal after many years of service. On February 19, 2026, he completed his earthly journey. He leaves behind one son, Trayvon; stepdaughters, Nicole and Jasmine; sister, Gwendolyn; nieces, Tonya (Michael) and Jamicka (Demeterius); nephews, Kevin, James (Laura), and Michael; a host of great-nieces and nephews; old school master barber, John Dyer; and a host of other relatives and friends.
