Steven Gibson Mitchell
September 29, 1946 - May 20, 2019
Steven Gibson Mitchell passed away peacefully at home on May 20, 2019.
Steve was born on September 29, 1946 in Salt Lake City to Betty Gibson Mitchell and James A. Mitchell. Steve served in the Army in the Vietnam War. He loved the outdoors and went on many hunting and fishing trips through the years with his dad and brother, Tony. His passion was golf. He loved getting out as often as possible with his uncle, Daryl, and his friends. He also enjoyed watching sports (including golf, basketball, and football) and movies in his theater room. Steve worked most of his life as a coin dealer. Throughout the years, he had several shops and often traveled the country going to various coin shows.
Steve loved spending time with his friends and family. He was kind, generous, and had a great sense of humor. He was a peacemaker and saw the best in everyone. He would bet people on just about anything and (most of the time) would make it so they won.
Steve is survived by his wife, Cheryl, his siblings, Kathleen, Stormy (Gary), and Tony (Trish). He also is survived by his daughter, Shellie, his son, Ryan (Michelle), his grandchildren, Amber, Brandon, and Braiden, his great-granddaughter, Aliyah, and his niece, Dustine. He is preceded in death by his mom and dad. He also is preceded in death by his and Cheryl’s long-time feline companion, Kitty.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, June 3, 2019 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City. Steven will be laid to rest on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 at 11:00 am at the Utah Veterans Cemetery & Memorial Park, 17111 South Camp Williams Road (1700 West), Bluffdale, Utah.
In Loving Memory
My thoughts and prayers are with you Cheryl.
Dear Cheryl, I want to express my deepest sympathies to you. Mitch and I loved and adored Steve. We loved spending time with the two of you in Vegas, going to his coin shows, out to dinner etc.!!! Mitch always looked forward to the weekly golf games. I wish I could have helped him more with that brutal disease, He was a darling guy and I shall miss him. I am here for you Cheryl. I want to take you to lunch or dinner when you have time. Call me anytime. Love you!!
I am broken hearted hearing of Steve’s passing. I have had the pleasure of knowing and doing business with Steve for many years. He will be greatly missed!
You are my dear friend forever, Steve! I think about you & will miss being with you. I look forward to seeing you again someday, Steve!
My name is Travis Bellantino, unfortunately I never got the opportunity to get to know Steve. Steve was my wife Stacee's dad and for some reason Steve never wanted to be in her life,as a matter of fact she just learned of his death last night and is crushed!! She is crushed because she will never know the reason her dad never wanted to be in her life,why he never wanted to see our children, his grandkids! She would often run into him at Nps and he would just ignore her and walk the other way! This behavior used to get me worked up as I would see the effect it had on her and knew I would never do this to a child of my own! Stacee really wanted Steve to be a part of her life,especially after we had kids.
In Loving Memory
