Losing a husband, father, brother, and dear friend is a heartbreaking experience. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we say Joseph Alan Mitchell passed away Fri. Apr. 12th in his home after losing his battle with cancer. Joe is survived by wife Anne, sons Reid, Alex, Kyle Mitchell and mother, Thelma Schweizer, and his brother Wayne and wife Mary Mitchell. While we are all broken, let us remember the laughter, love, and joy he brought into our lives. May his memory continue to inspire and uplift us as we navigate this world without him. Together, we can all honor his legacy and cherish the moments we shared together. Joe, Josepy, Jofesine, Joey or Joseph, whatever you may have called him, was more than just a name to us. Joe was a beacon of hope, a pillar of strength, a companion to his wife and sons and a friend in joy and sorrow to all of us. Above all, he was family. From a young age, he had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge which was his passion. That passion combined with his inspiration from “Top Gun” led him to the Navy and eventually a long career as a mechanic and ultimately the “Mr. Fix It” of everything. His loss has created a void and an emptiness in our hearts. In this sorrow, let us find comfort in the memories we shared, the laughter, the tears, the quiet moments, and the loud celebrations or his bragadocious ways if he won something. His spirit lives on in each of us, in the lessons he taught us, and in the love and friendship he shared. Joe’s celebration of Life will be held Jun. 22nd. at the American Legion Post #242. Time: 2pm. Address: 17142 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32833 Flower, plants, cards, and donation are appreciated. The MC of the celebration is asking for any pictures you may want to share be added to this post or can be sent via email to boyjusthad2@hotmail.com as we will be creating a slide show. If you would like to create a picture board or bring pictures to display, we can set those up as well. You will need to bring those in advance for set-up and display prior to the event. Additionally, there will be time for folks to share stories during the celebration. If there is something you’d like to say or write that you feel you may not be able to say, please bring/provide those to the event and someone will read those for you.
