Mr. Jonathan Odell “Jon” Mitchell, age 51, of Summerville, GA, died Sunday, December 1, 2024, at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta.

Mr. Mitchell was born November 30, 1973, in Rome, GA, son of Peggy Ann Latta Mitchell and the late James Shamblin “Jimmy” Mitchell, Jr. He was a member of Mountain View Baptist Church and had been employed as a commercial water meter specialist.

Mr. Mitchell dedicated his life to coaching youth sports, sharing his passion for baseball, softball, and football with countless athletes. He also loved spending time on the golf course, playing tennis and volleyball, and enjoying friendly games of cornhole with his family and friends. He spent most of his time on the ball field watching and coaching his kids and grandkids play ball.

He will, no doubt, be front row at every event his youngest son, Will, has, cheering him on from above with the same enthusiasm and love he always showed.
