Jeffrey MITCHELL Obituary

Peacefully in Gore on September 14, 2025, surrounded by his loving family, aged 61 years. Cherished son of Grace and the late Bruce, loved brother and brother-in-law of Carol Armstrong (Wanaka), Ron and Julie (Gore), Ken and Pam (Te Anau), Anne and Paul Cooper (Wanaka), Jill and Jonathan Larrivee (Dunedin); proud father, father-in-law and Grandpa of Dylan, Cindy and Theo Williams (Korea), ever entertaining Uncle Tom to all his nieces and nephews, and former husband, collaborator in life and art of Donna Demente (Oamaru).

Jeff's life was a symphony of creativity - a creative genius whose spirit lives on in the shapes, colours and music around us.

A celebration of Jeff's life will be held on Saturday, October 4, at The Woolshed Function Centre, 575 Waimumu Road, Gore, at 2.00pm. Donations to Hospice Southland greatly appreciated. Special thanks to all those who lovingly cared for and supported Jeff during his recent illness. Messages to: 55C Kitchener Street, Gore 9710.
