He attended Buckeye Elementary School and was a graduate of Lone Jack High School.

He worked in the coal industry, limestone quarry and was self-employed for over 45 years. He was an avid outdoorsman, who loved to be in the woods or on the water where he taught his sons and grandchildren to hunt, fish and shoot guns. Mitchell enjoyed spending time with family, friends and especially his grandchildren. He loved the simple things of life and took pride in working in his garden, canning his harvest and piddling in his garage.
