Michael Joseph "Mike" "Joey" Mitchell, age 37, Asbury, Missouri, passed away on Thursday, October 9, 2014 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Joey was born May 30, 1977 in Joplin, and graduated from Carl Junction High School in 1996 where he earned a certificate for auto body repair from Franklin Tech.
