mitchell_jr_warren_edwardWarren Edward (Mitch) Mitchell Jr., 54, of Draper, passed away Monday July 11, 2016 at Lewis Gale Hospital, Pulaski.Mitch’s ever present smile and unique sense of humor lifted the spirits of everyone he met.

He enjoyed “Porch Sittin” with Ellen and enjoyed the beautiful view from their front porch. His favorite place was his “home place” on Claytor Lake where he learned to ski at the age of two. He loved truck driving, Harley Davidson Motorcycles and shooting. But his true joy was landscaping and plowing snow with his trusty Kubota tractor. He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed by all!

Mitch was born on April 23, 1962 in Charleston, W.Va. and was the son of the late Evelyn Basham Mitchell and Warren Edward Mitchell Sr. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved step-daughter, Heather Michelle Edens.

Also survived by many nieces and nephews, and his loyal fur baby companion, Kirby.
