Roy “Paco” Mitchell, of Middletown, Virginia, died Monday, February 17, 2020 at Winchester Medical Center.

He was born October 4, 1956 in Illinois, the son of Max and Edna Mitchell. Roy will be missed by all who knew him as he was a kind, and loving, good man, that loved to joke and tell stories. He was a thoughtful man, husband and friend. Roy enjoyed gardening, metal detecting, flea markets, reading about history, and civil war reenacting.

Roy is survived by his wife Stephanie, a sister, Pat Hasamear (Tim), a brother, Tony Mitchell (Mika), numerous nieces and nephews, and a very special cat named Cruiser.
