Thomas H.E. Mitchell passed away on April 28, 2017 at his home in Sunman, Indiana. The 74 year old was born on September 17, 1942 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Jule & Marian (nee: Kuhn) Mitchell.
Thomas graduated from Roger Bacon High School in St. Bernard, OH and went on to serve in the United States Navy from 1960-1963. He retired after many years, as a supervisor at the CG&E/Duke, Miami Fort Plant in Cleves, OH.
Thomas just loved being outdoors. As a member of the NRA and Tri County Coon Hunters, he enjoyed shooting at the club and outback at home. Many times he participated in shoots at the club, including some of the Archery events there, which he helped to organize. The avid fisherman also played softball for many years and loved sports in general. He traveled all over the country to watch his grandchildren play in their sporting events as well. Of course as an outdoors man he loved his toys, from quads and motorcycles to fishing boats. Mostly, Thomas was an all around family man and will be dearly missed by all his family and friends.

Mitchell, Kevin Fletcher and Richard Fletcher; daughters, Michelle Fletcher and Shannon (Don) Miles; seven grandchildren, AJ, Sara, Hope, JP, Justin, Susan and Derek; three great grandchildren, Lilly, Harper and Desiree; along with his mother-in-law, Theresa Hoffman, brother Mike (Teresa) Mitchell and sister-in-law Pat Mitchell.
