Scott Alan Mitchell

January 26, 1959 - September 15, 2017

Scott Alan Mitchell On Friday, Sept. 15 one of the most caring and faithful men passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by loving family after a three-year battle with cancer. Like everything in his life, Scott faced adversity with a positive attitude and courageous spirit. While we are sad, we are comforted in knowing that our loving husband, dad, papa, brother, and uncle has been welcomed into the loving arms of the Lord. Scott joined his mother and father, Richard and Patricia Mitchell, and his brothers Jamie and Richard Jr. Beloved husband of Barbara Mitchell, Scott is survived by daughters Shelly Godfrey (Bernard) and Stephanie Johnson (Nate); stepchildren Hannah, Emily and Colin Garza; grandchildren Keyana, Ashleigh, Javon, Sophie, Amiyah, Easton, Jaxon and Zariah; siblings Mark Ferguson (Jayme), Debby Mitchell, Marty Mitchell (Melanie), and Libby Walker (Davy); and 13 nieces and nephews. Scott started his first career 40 years ago with AT&T where he worked in a variety of management positions before pouring his heart and soul into education for the remaining 20 years of his career. He was truly passionate about his work with Confluence Academy from where he retired this past Spring, rarely missing a day of work despite his ongoing cancer treatments. Scott’s loving, humble and positive attitude will truly be missed by all those whose lives were touched by this remarkable man. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting a donation in memory of Scott Mitchell to the American Cancer Society. Service at the ORTMANN STIPANOVICH Funeral Home, 12444 Olive Blvd., Creve Coeur, Wed., Sept. 20, 10 a.m. Visitation from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday.
