He loved old architecture, cars, movies, and antiques. Mitchell enjoyed cooking, and creating solutions for all sorts of problems. He was very good at growing things such as, tomatoes, peppers, and other goodies. He enjoyed sharing all of his crops. He shared memories of beautiful beaches he visited with his family. Tybee Island was one of the most visited by Mitchell where he loved to fly kites and collect sea shells. He was a political junkie for the last 4 years and strongly supported the MAGA movement.
