Mitchell Robert Mattice, 79, a devoted husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, and great grandfather passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 22, 2025. Born on July 2, 1945, in Kimberly, Nevada to Bennet and Myrtle Mattice, Mitch grew up with a strong work ethic and an independent spirit that defined his life. A skilled contractor by trade, he was a man of precision and hard work, shaping not just structures but the lives of those around him with his dedication and craftmanship.
A true self-starter, Mitch approached every challenge with determination, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Whether on a job site or at home, his attention to detail and ability to get things done set him apart. But beyond his skill as a craftsman, it was his deep devotion to his family that truly defined him. He was a steady presence, always ready to lend a hand, offer advice, or simply be there when needed.
Mitch is survived by his loving wife, Donna, his children: Maurio (Stacy), Shaun (Desiree), Ben, Christina (Shawn), Kelly (Brenda), John (Darla), and Kery (Brandy). His legacy continues through his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and pride. He led his family with a firm yet caring hand, always willing to guide, support, and give—though he believed in the importance of earning one’s way.
Mitch was known for his sharp attention to detail, whether in his work or personal life. He held himself and those around him to high standards, believing that anything worth doing was worth doing right. Though strong-willed, he had a generous spirit, always willing to lend a hand when it was truly needed. His presence was steady and unwavering, a source of strength for those who relied on him.
He was preceded in death by his two sisters and one brother, with whom he shared many cherished memories. While he will be deeply missed, his influence and love will endure in the lives of those he touched.
A celebration of his life will be held on March 15, 2025, where family and friends will gather to honor the man, he was and the legacy he leaves behind.
