Min. Victor Shantez Mitchell
April 21, 1977 - May 18, 2019
Min. Victor Shantez Mitchell, 42, was born April 21, 1977, in Iuka, Mississippi. The Lord freed him from the suffering of this world on May 18, 2019, at UK Chandler Hospital. As a young man, Victor gave his life to the Lord during a time of desperate circumstances. In return, the Lord gave him joy and a sense of humor that he would become known for at work, at home and in the pulpit. His kindness, compassion and brutal honesty along with his long, robust prayers are the trademarks of his celebrated life. Victor graduated from Tishimingo County High School in 1995 and went on to earn an Associates Degree in Psychology from Northeast Community College in Booneville, Mississippi. He was a manager at Speedway where he regaled his customers with jokes, old music and most importantly his testimony. Victor was joined in holy matrimony to his wife, the former Brandi R. Body, on May 27, 2006, on a beautiful day with a date that neither of them could remember. In February 2008, they were blessed with a beautiful bouncing 11-year-old named Nicholas Bynum. Following this miracle, came their son Victor Brendan Mitchell born May 1, 2017. Victor was a proud papa twice over. Victor was preceded in death by his parents, Ella Lynn Mitchell and Odell Johnson. In addition to his wife and children, he leaves to cherish his memories his siblings Eva Denise Mitchell of Tupelo, MS, Trenika Roshawn Mitchell of Lexington, KY, Tremaine Deon Mitchell of Iuka, MS, Sherrie Denise (Kenneth) Thompson, Frances Louise Johnson, Marcia Elaine Clemmons, Percy Leon (Deborah) Johnson of Cherokee, AL and Carolyn Diane (Bobby) Dilworth of Iuka, MS; his nephew, Marcus Alexander Mitchell, whom he helped raise; and a host of nieces, other nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, other family members, as well as cherished friends.
