David Wyatt Mitchell, Sr

David Wyatt Mitchell, Sr., age 60, passed from this life to his eternal rest on Friday, September 5, 2025.

He was born on January 10, 1965, in Lynchburg, Va to Arthur Wyatt and Joyce Ann Thacker Mitchell.  David was also preceded in death by his daughter Jennifer Marie Mitchell.

Surviving to cherish his memory is his best friend and wife of 34 years, Sharon Pierce Mitchell; children, Michael Knight of Rustburg, VA, David Wyatt Mitchell, Jr. and wife, Emma of Rustburg, VA and Jessie Mitchell Lee of Wallace; grandchildren, Michael, Cameron, Ryan, Bryson, Avery, Londyn and Miranda; sister, Teresa Hogan and husband, Wayne of Lynchburg, VA and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved David dearly. 

David was a devoted husband and caring father, grandfather and brother.  He was a hard worker who enjoyed working and providing for his family.  With his witty personality, David enjoyed laughing and making others laugh with him.  He was a ‘homebody’ and was happiest when he was sitting on his porch with Sharon enjoying the beautiful outdoors.  Being from Virginia, David loved the mountains and loved taking Sharon there to visit.  He was definitely a family man who loved his family with all his heart.  David will surely be missed but treasured memories of him will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. 

Memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home Wallace Chapel with visitation following the service.
