Mitchell was born on June 27, 1988. Two months later Joyce and Daryl Hinners, were blessed to have him become a part of their family. Mitchell attended St. Lawrence Elementary School and Kuemper Catholic High School. He worked part-time for Fareway Grocery Store at age 14 for two years. When he was 16, he worked at Farner-Bocken part-time and full-time after graduation from high school. He attended Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon, Iowa and received certification in Lineman Management. He then worked for one year at Carroll Trusses. In March 2010, Mitchell began working for the City of Manilla Utility as a lineman utility worker. He was the first employee in the City of Manilla’s history to achieve certification in maintenance of natural gas. After moving to Manilla, he became a member of the Manilla Fire Department. One of his work colleagues noted that he was always willing to lend a hand and was a valued part of the team. He recently spent two days assisting to restore and repair power in Mapleton after the community was devastated by a tornado. Mitchell was a fun-loving son, brother and friend. He always had time to play with his brother, Jackson. He liked to wrestle with his brother on the trampoline. Mitchell had many interests. When he was in elementary school he learned taekwondo, in which he achieved a Black Belt, the highest level, when he 14 years old. Mitchell also enjoyed fixing up and driving all kinds of vehicles: a Jeep, his Harley motorcycle, a four-wheeler, and his dad’s 1986 El Camino. Mitchell and his father, Daryl, received numerous trophies for first place in Iowa auto shows, including first place in a 2010 car show at Swan Lake in Carroll with his father’s El Camino. Throughout his life Mitchell enjoyed the love of a dog companion. He got Toby, a chocolate lab on his birthday in 2010. He made a lot of friends at work, and one of his friends, Dani, is taking care of Toby right now.
