He was talented in many things and enjoyed music, woodworking (even building a beautiful garden), creative writing, and was an amazing poet. Mitchell was great at trivia and was full of random knowledge. He enjoyed dancing whenever he could and singing karaoke. Mitchell was also a collector… of many fun things... such as bugs... that he kept in the freezer… and clowns... that were kept in the bathroom... and an assortment of beautiful watches. Most of all he loved spending time with family and friends. Whether it was game nights or hanging out with his nieces, nephews, and godson. He was so proud of them all.
