Bryan Marcus Mitchell Obituary (1979 - 2019)

Bryan Marcus Mitchell, 40, his life taken too soon by his own hand on December 12, 2019. Bryan was born on May 15, 1979 to Marcus and Deanna (Doyle) Mitchell in Salt Lake City, Utah. He grew up in Draper, Utah, exploring the streets, mountains and everything in between, along with his little brother, Bryce. This led to a love of fishing, shooting and all of the great outdoors. Bryan was always happiest when he was out in nature. He was very knowledgeable; and taught himself everything he felt he needed to know. Bryan had his own way with humor. He was a true comedian in that he could either completely offend you or totally make your day. He loved to poke fun at his nieces and nephews, as well as engage in friendly banter with his siblings and everyone he encountered. Despite all of the good times, Bryan really struggled with the cards life had dealt him. He put up a good fight, but ultimately lost the battle with his mental health. He is preceded in death by his mother Deanna, father Marcus, grandparents Nugent and Anne Doyle, Marcus and Rose Mitchell, as well as his companion dog, Syco. Bryan will be deeply loved and forever remembered by his brothers and sisters, Bryce (Christy) Mitchell, Lynn Allen, Teresa "Sissy" (Clint) Larsen, Melanie "Missy" (Travis) Peterson, Bodi (Lona) Allen, Danny (Deanie) Allen; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
