Dear Mitch,

Watching you grow up, from a shy little boy who refused to leave your mama's and pops' side, to a confident young man who touched and enriched the lives of everybody you met, has been amazing and a sheer pleasure. You had an unmatched enthusiasm for life and a joy in living that a person rarely sees in this world, that you showed whether you were eating bacon and eggs or getting out and enjoying nature's beauty. In every act, you showed a hunger for excellence that showed itself in your pursuit of knowledge and your attention to friendship. With every endeavor that you set your mind to, you pursued it to only your own high standards of satisfaction. To all that knew you and loved you, you've been a constant inspiration towards living with good character and squeezing the most out of every last minute of life. For all of this, we want to thank you, and let you know that we all, unanimously feel that it was a privilege to spend the time with you that we could. We are honored to have been able to be your mother, your father, your brother, your friend. We have such gratitude for all of the memories you've left us with and the opportunity to make those memories. You have left a powerful legacy of love and a giving spirit for us all to carry on in your name. You will be dearly missed, Mitchy.

With love and thanks,

Your family and friends.

Funeral services will be held in Grand Junction at Canyon View Vineyard Church on Saturday, February 13, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. Anybody who would like to attend is encouraged to come and share a story or memory of Mitchell. We invite those in attendance to wear something with camouflage in honor of Mitch.

In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer that contributions go to the ""Mitch Foust Memorial"" account that has been established with the Bank of the San Juans (reference account number 2035) to continue Mitch's legacy of teaching less fortunate children an appreciation of the great outdoors.

One year, son. I am so lost without you in this world. Seems kind of ironic since I spent 19 years trying to help you find your way.

I love you so much, Mitch. I miss you with every breath I take.Love forever & ever,

Mom
