Pray for the Mitchell Family
« on: September 25, 2008, 04:57:33 PM »
Mr. Thomas Mitchell suddenly passed away Wednesday morning, at Good Shepard Hospital in Marshall, TX.  He was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, blood clot in the lungs.

Mr. Mitchell is the father of Ty Mitchell, Josey instructor.  Thomas better known, as the, “Old Coach”. He will be so missed by all of us here at the Josey Ranch.  He was an inspiration to many Josey Students as he talked at every Church Service he could attend and there were many.

His daughter, Misty, was also a champion barrel racer.

Mr. Mitchell was a wonderful husband to his wife Frances and an outstanding father to Ty and Misty.  He was very involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  He was loved by young and old.

Services are still pending. We will update the website as soon as we know more.

When I read the news about Mr Mitchell on barrelracers.com I felt compelled to share it with you all. 
For those of you who were blessed with the opportunity to meet or listen to Mr Mitchell speak you can't help but feel saddened by this loss.  He was a wonderful man so full of life.  Always positive and so inspiring. 
May God place a healing hand on his family and all who loved him to comfort them through this time of sorrow.

Our prayers are with you all.
