Aaron Mitchell

Aaron Alfred Mitchell February 9, 1970— February 4, 2024 Mr. Aaron Mitchell enjoyed precision, loud music, and fast cars. He was birthed in Fairbury, Nebraska. Born under the sign of Aquarius, on the 9th day of February, 1970. He was the firstborn of Arnola and Don Mitchell. He was farm raised, taught to be kind and loving. Not a lover of farm fowl, and that sounds like an exaggeration, but he had been attacked by chickens, turkeys, and geese. Whether he liked it or not, he helped his family work the farm. Watching and working with his father, a trained automobile mechanic, and a budding farmer in the 80's, Aaron found his work ethic. While attending High School, Aaron participated in FFA, wrecked his parents' car one evening delivering fruit. He was probably racing it. He learned how to drive from his mom. Music and fast cars ruled his late 80's and early 90's. Along the way he worked as a mechanic, servicing Massey Ferguson AG equipment. He also worked as a machinist, working with a variety of CNC mills, CNC lathes, in a manufacturing role. He even for a short while worked in a cheese factory. He got fooled once, or twice. Early in the 21st century, Aaron would, without formal training or schooling, own and operate a seamless gutter business. I worked for him a couple of times. He was on cloud nine. He wanted me to come work with him, but I couldn't afford to do so. During that time, he was the most alive he would ever be. My older sister knew Aaron as her white knight. I'll second that. Aaron knew my sister as his rock. They were as thick as thieves, his whole life long. And they are, still. I knew him best as a mentor. While I was in grade school, Aaron gave me pointers on how to block and throw punches. He also told me not to start trouble but to finish it. While he was away from home, I would snoop in his room, and dub his heavy metal CD's to cassette tapes. Guns and Roses, Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusions 1 & II. `Twas fate. Van Helen, led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Metallica, and Queen were some other artists Aaron enjoyed loudly. I was fortunate to ride in his 1976 Monte Carlo. He couldn't drive 55. He respected and admired those who served in our military, especially his younger brother, Lucas. He was even fortunate enough to gain a sister-in-law, Ashley, who also served. Aaron was there in Lincoln to see Lucas when he was deployed to Kuwait and Aaron was there when Lucas came back from Iraq. He adored and has a love for all his nephews and nieces. He always encouraged them to do well. Aaron has a Special Bond with his younger nieces, Aria and Amelia. He looked at them as his own. Aaron had the honor and privilege of meeting his great-niece, Whitley, for the 1st time at Christmas. He truly loves them all. He is survived by his mother and father, his favorite sister, Emily, and his two younger brothers, Reuben and wife, Jessica, Lucas and wife, Ashley; nephew Keith and wife Dareion Jackson; nephew Wesley Jackson; niece Ashley and husband, Jordan Medeiros; nephew Emmett Mitchell; nieces Aria and Amelia Mitchell and great-niece Whitley Jackson.
