Jeffrey "Jeff" David Mitchell

Jeffrey “Jeff” David Mitchell, age 65, died at EAMC on June 26, 2024 surrounded by family from complications following surgery.  He was born on January 13, 1959 at Lee County Hospital, now EAMC, to parents Claude M. “Boots” and Claire Mitchell. He is survived by his son, Justin, daughter-in-law, Natalie, grandchildren Eli, Brennan, Aurora, and Harbor; mother Claire Houck Mitchell; sister Angela Calhoun (Porter); brother Grady (Arlene); nieces Grace Calhoun, Maria Mitchell, Elise Walker, and Julia Washburn; and numerous cousins. He is predeceased by his father, Claude M. “Boots” Mitchell and brother John M. Mitchell.

Jeff recently retired from Baxter (formerly Gambro) after nearly 30 years in injection molding. He spent many years maintaining the family farm in Beauregard, AL, and he was looking forward to more fishing, travel and time with family in his retirement. In recent years Jeff dedicated his life to becoming a more Godly man and enjoyed sharing his testimony. He was very attentive to his mother, Claire, making daily visits for the past few years where they had long conversations about family history.  Jeff graduated from Opelika High School in 1977 where he played football and lived in Auburn, AL for more than 35 years.

Visitation will be at Jeffcoat-Trant Funeral Home in Opelika, AL, Saturday 28, 10:00 am with a service at 11:00 am, with the burial immediately following at Garden Hill Cemetery. Jeff’s 1st cousin and her husband, Gayle and Bill Berry will conduct the service.
