Greg attended Plainview Grade School and graduated from McPherson High School, McPherson, KS in 1967. He then attended Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS.
Through the years, Greg worked as a farmer on his family's land west of McPherson. He also worked for Moridge Mfg. as a welder for many years during the winters, until it was time to start farming.
Greg enjoyed playing in the dirt, though most people would call it farming, spending countless hours in his shop working (or staring into space) on his Mopars. He restored them from the frame up, painting and modifying them and then modifying again. Greg enjoyed music and loved the "Rolling Stones". He wouldn't want us to say this, but he was a talented artist and loved spending time with his friends and family.
Greg Mitchell was united in marriage to Jonell Arlene Hall on January 28, 1968 in McPherson, Kansas. The young couple established their first home together in McPherson. The couple was blessed with the birth of two children, Julie and John. John passed away in 1989.

Greg was preceded in death by his parents; wife Jonell Mitchell and his son, John Mitchell.
