Victor "Butch" A. Mitchell Iii

ROTTERDAM – Victor “Butch” Mitchell III, 57, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday December 10, 2019 at Albany Medical Center. He was born in East Berne and is the son of Mary Ellen Mitchell and the late Victor Mitchell Jr.

Butch was a customer service representative at Distribution Unlimited in Rotterdam and he loved the guys he worked with. An avid sports fan, Butch was a huge fan of the New England Patriots. He also loved fishing, camping, Star Wars, and making people laugh. He spent many days searching for Bigfoot. There was never a day that went by that he didn’t have some form of sports on. He could recite his favorite movies word for word—Hunt for Red October and National Treasure. He enjoyed Motown music and sang Jingle Bells all the time. He never failed to add humor to a situation.

He is the beloved husband of Rita L Mitchell. He is also survived by his step-children Donny (Erin) Decker, Danielle (Collin) Turner, and Jordan (Meghan) Decker, and his foster child Elizabeth Alexander, as well as his nine grandchildren and his many nieces and nephews. These were the people he loved and cherished. No matter what he needed, they were there for him.
