Obituary For Marvin Daniel Mitchell, Sr.

Marvin Daniel Mitchell, Sr., passed away on June 1, 2023. He was born on April 17, 1959, to Mr. Daniel M. and Mrs. Jean Maxwell Mitchell.

Marvin graduated from Valdosta State with a bachelor’s degree and University of South Florida with a masters degree, and he used those degrees to pave his way into the lives and hearts of the Brooks County School Trojans. His positive influence on his community has impacted the Trojan nation in the classroom, on the field, and on the court for as long as we can remember, and his loving heart and constant words of encouragement will live on in the lives of those he touched.

Over the past 13 years that we have lived in Thomasville, I really enjoyed playing golf and pickleball with Marvin. Marv was a lot of fun to be around and whenever we saw each other, we would talk about sports, particularly the Dawgs, Braves, and Cubs. Since he knew I grew up in Chicago and loved the Cubs, he would always ask me "what ya gonna do with those Cubs??!!" He knew how much I suffered with them often losing. Marvin was such a considerate person. I will miss him, his smile, and smirk. Rest in Peace with Jesus. Craig and Deb Wentworth

What a special person Marvin was. It would be amazing to know how many people, young and old, he had a very positive influence on. We can all be so thankful that we know he accepted Jesus and had a truly authentic relationship with HIM. And we can smile knowing he is with Jesus now. I love you and miss you Marvin but I also know you are in a much better place than what you left behind. Steve Plymale
