Steven Glen Mitchell

Steve, beloved husband of Judy (nee Stares). Proud and loving father of Mark and Jennifer (Ben). Loving son of the late Relph and Betty Mitchell. Cherished brother of the late Wendy Hennigar (Bruce), Catherine LaPlante (Jody) and Brian (Donna). Uncle to Kevin Hennigar (Jessica), Carly Lichty, Andrea Mitchell (John MacKenzie), Lisa Mitchell (David Circelli), Matthew Stares (Catherine), Joanne Stares, Heather Madden (Greg), Daniel Dillabough and Elanor Dillabough. Dearly missed by extended family and friends

He first started videoing Jr A hockey games in 1979 for the Aurora Tigers and Aurora Cable 10. He became a station manager of Aurora Cable in 1983 until the company sold to Rogers in 2008. Steve has videoed thousands of Jr A hockey games for various teams throughout the GTA. He was the first person to bring a 24/7 dedicated High Definition community television channel in Canada. He was very well known and loved in the community of Aurora. He loved sports, videography, video games and animals. He was a very kind and generous husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend to many.

Steve had a heart transplant September 19, 2019, thanks to the selfless act of an organ donor. He got an extra 5 years and 9 months with family and friends, which he never took those extra days for granted and often encouraged others to sign their organ donor card. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be at the Aurora Community Centre auditorium on Saturday July 12th from 12pm-4pm with words of remembrance starting at 1pm.

Per Steve’s wishes the dress code is to wear your favourite sports jersey.

As an expression of sympathy donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the University Health Network Foundation for the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre Campaign would be appreciated by the family. The family also encourages everyone to sign up to be an organ donor at beadonor.ca
