Bob Mitchell

James Robert “Bob” Mitchell, 63, passed away Sunday, May 23, 2021 at the home of his son in Bartlett, Tenn. He was born May 22, 1958, to Dixie Germany Mitchell and the late Guy Thomas Mitchell. Bob graduated in 1976 from North Pontotoc Attendance Center in Ecru. After high school Bob worked various jobs, became certified in diving, was a concert rig worker, and became a great carpenter and painter like his dad. Having lived in Sherman practically all of his life, he enjoyed fishing and raising some of the most lovable cats. However, he was happiest when riding his Harley-Davidson and spending time with his son.
Bob is survived by his son, David Christopher Mitchell of Bartlett, Tennessee; his mother, Dixie Germany Mitchell; and his sister, Martha Ann Swindle and her husband, Jeremy, of Sherman.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 20 years, Sandra Penny Mitchell; his father, Guy Thomas Mitchell; and a son, Michael Anthony Mitchell.
