"To the Family,What I remember most about Mitch was that he was a true down-to-earth Southern Man who loved his God and his family. Like Brenda, I will remember him most due to talking with him at special events, especially the annual Christmas family "get together." His friendly disposition and his warm smile brought out who he was. He is now in the great kingdom that Jesus promised His people. Much affection to all of you. "Uncle Jack.""

I really appreciated that about him. Please know that you are being carried through this time on angel wings. I love you all very much. Aunt Brenda"

"Mitch was a kind and funny and nice man who was great with all our kids. i remember when he dropped everything to take the van and haul all the way to six flags to pick up all the kids. He was such a dear to do so and he seemed happy to do so and they were so glad to see him. John and I always enjoyed talking with him and we will miss him. Please know that we are here for you and Dakota, Makayla and Kassidy. God bless you all. Dianne and John Dotson"
