David Ryan Mitchell's Obituary
David Ryan Mitchell, 15, of Proctorville, Ohio, went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ on Thursday, May 25, 2023. Born July 4, 2007, David is the son of William "Will" and Kristin Mitchell. He is survived by his parents and his younger brother, Levi; paternal grandmother Dorothy Mitchell of Waterloo, Ohio; and maternal grandparents David and Tewania Canterberry (his beloved Nana and Poppy) of Proctorville, Ohio.David is loved by a large family including his grandfather William Mitchell who he joined in Heaven; great grandmother Elva Jean Canterberry; great grandparents Paul and Carol Black; and special "Uncle Roddy and Aunt Stephanie" Burcham, all of Proctorville, Ohio. Paternal aunts and uncles include Ruth Finley; Sammy Mitchell, Eddie Mitchell; Georgia Taylor; Joyce Cumpston; Vickie Miller; Alice Mitchell and a host of cousins and other family members.David, who just completed his freshman year at Fairland High school, is known for his kind heart and generous spirit. His thoughtfulness and ability to make others laugh are also a trademark. David enjoyed traveling and was blessed to do so often. He recently shared the beach was his favorite destination and added that he liked staying at nice resorts. David's love and care for animals piqued his interest in becoming a veterinarian or working in a related field. Some of his favorite times were spent with family and friends. He was a blessing to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him and he will be greatly missed forever by his family-especially his brother Levi, favorite cousin Katie Morris, and special friends Raegan Garrido, Addyson Cornell, Billie Smith, and Charity Carter.We thank God for the gift of David Ryan and for His Son Jesus Christ. We find comfort in knowing David Ryan was saved and baptized at an early age, and we have confidence that he is in Heaven with Jesus. We encourage all to employ Romans 12:12 as noted on David Ryan's Facebook page, "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer..."Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 31, 2023, at Hall Funeral Home & Crematory in Proctorville, Ohio with Brother Tom Jones officiating.
