Tim Mitchell

Memories from Family and friends Jason (Son)-He always had an answer or would find the answer to any problems we came across while working on different things. He had a lot of knowledge. Jennifer (Daughter)-He was funny, always joking around. Most of the time funny, but sometimes a** h *** funny. Jon (son) -Dad could fix anything and taught me a lot. I enjoyed fishing and boating with Dad. Amy (Daughter)-His twisted sense of humor is so dominant, but he also had a caring side. I have random memories of life with him when I was growing up, mostly funny. I loved our conversations in most recent years because he seemed to pay attention to the things we discussed, he was knowledgeable. Our point of view might not have been in line on every subject, but he still presented with logic and common sense. . . or a good joke! I will miss the whole of him always. Jenell (Daughter-in-law)-His sense of humor was awesome. One thing that he did that I am forever grateful for was when I would confide in him about things that were bothering me, and he would always have the best advice for me or explain it from a different perspective-and it was genuine. He didn't tell me what I wan...[more]

to hear, and I will always hold that in my heart. Givo (son-in-Law)-well, one thing for certain. . . He always had an opinion about everything; it made every conversation more alive. You never left a room without thinking a little deeper or laughing a little harder. Ashton (Grandson)-He had very entertaining commentary, especially when I was young and y'all would pick me up after school. He would make the ride fun because he could find anything to poke fun at. He also had good, wise conversations with me. Jaxson (Grandson)-l would like when Grandpa would make jokes. Christian (Grandson)-l remember his personality and sense of humor the most. I loved to watch him play slots on his phone on the mornings 1 stayed the night. I'd say one of my favorite memories of us would have to be when we were at Black Bear and the Huckleberry ice cream. I also enjoyed going to Casa De Fruta, camping and Santa Cruz, those were all amazing times. Ken (Co-Worker)-He was a big kid, and we had as much fun as we could get away with. we got a few a* * chewings because we got caught. Dale (co-worker) -Everybody laughed their a** off from a joke he played on someone or the stories he told. He was well known for his antics on the CB radio and loved firing the truckers up then had fun listening to them fight. He was a person that always spoke his mind. Dennis (co-worker)-l have known Tim for 44 years. He was one of the most pleasant people to work with and always had a lot of fun. If you got yourself into trouble and Tim was coming as your back-up you knew you were going to be okay. I remember the good times we had when on patrol. It was at this time Tim introduced me to the CB radio in the patrol car, which turned out to be the best thing he ever did for me. We relied more on the CB then we did the department communications. When I came back to patrol as a Sergeant Tim gave me the CB handle name "The Zebra" because of the stripes. Tim's passing has left an empty spot for a lot of us. There were times he kept me in check when I would get irritated about something, and his famous quote, "Easy Dad, easy" and I knew what he meant. I'm going to miss that man as long as I am alive. There are very few like Tim and I can't wait to see him again. Carol (Wife)-Tim enjoyed working on cars and could fix anything. He enjoyed fishing, bowling, car shows and our annual anniversary trip to Hot August Nights. He was and will always be the love of my life and soulmate. His kindness, strength and humor touched not just our family but all who knew him. His contagious smile and hilarious sense of humor could make even the worst day seem a bit brighter. we will all carry his memory with us, and it brings me comfort to know that so much of him is alive in friends and family. I am beyond grateful he was by my side through our incredible journey and the memories we made. Tim was not just someone passing through my life, he was life itself, and I will miss him terribly.
