DIPLOMATIC TRAVEL
1954 - 2021
Joey Randell Mitchell, age 66, proud North High Polar Bear, passed away on Feb. 22, 2021. Joey was one of life’s great characters! If you met him you will remember! Joey was the first crush of many girls in the Hamlet/ 11th Avenue area. They still talk about how handsome he was! Today, many 60+ women are crying and remembering how much fun he was to be around. Though he didn’t graduate because of
flunking “Sales” (too much
time under the bridge), he spent 3 years with the class of ‘72! Joey went on to become a masterful carpenter, building many
fine homes and businesses
around Central Ohio. He was at his happiest with
a fishing pole or a bass
guitar in his hands! Joey was a lifelong fan of the Buckeyes, Browns and Yankees! Joey was preceded in death by parents
Mae and Toy Mitchell Sr. and brother Sammy. He is
survived by his long time companion Debbie Travis and Bailey Cornell, whom they raised together. In a few weeks Bailey was to be given away in marriage by her beloved Joe Joe! It was something he was really looking forward to! He is also survived by brothers
Bruce (Debbie), Toy Jr., Mickey and Kevin (Virg) as
well as sister Cathy, with whom he had a special
bond. She loved her crazy
little brother with all her
heart! The first words out of
her mouth at any gather
ing were “Where’s Joey?”.
He will be sorely missed by younger sisters Joyce
Weinberger and Patricia
Hanawalt, whom he made a pastime of cracking up! He is also survived by a multitude of nieces, nephews and ensuing generations of grand...s. The world is a lesser place without Joey but where he is now there
is no pain, every cast finds a “hog” and there is always
a jam session going on.
We already miss him and
he will always be loved and never forgotten! To share a condolence with the family, please visit www.newcomercolumbus.com.
