Christopher Scott Mitchell was born December 17, 1962, to Alfonzo and Erma Jean Mitchell in San Diego, Ca. He accepted Christ at an early age and was tutored by Bishop George D. McKinney and assistant pastor Charlie Clark. Chris proudly maintained many consecutive titles, namely handyman, hauling, chef of Chris’ Delicious BBQ, poet, and Neighborhood Street Evangelist; speaking the word and testifying with the intention of leading all he met to embrace the Holy Spirit. Stating to those much is given, much is required, gone too soon and never to be forgotten.
Chris met his wife Norma Jefferson at St. Stephens COGIC where they began their friendship which grew until they were joined together in holy matrimony almost two years later on October 29, 2016, by Bishop George D. McKinney at Harbor Island, in San Diego, Ca. They shared nine years of loving Christian-filled togetherness. He constantly referred to her as “Baby Cakes” or Norma Jean, giving her his mother’s middle name always stating she reminded him so much of her.
They continued to worship at St. Stephens and later moved their membership to University Ave. Baptist Church where he joined the choir and delighted in his devotion to Christ. Christopher was a walking testimony of the greatness of God and shared his beliefs with all that he encountered on a daily basis.
Christopher passed on April 9, 2023. Mourning his passing with his devoted wife Norma Jefferson Mitchell are two sons Christopher S. Mitchell Jr and JaShawn C. Mitchell; daughter Jalia E. Mitchell; stepsons Rahsaan, Jamal & Jamel Davis of San Diego; father Alfonzo Mitchell; Aunt Audrey Nash; Uncles Charles and Ellis Mitchell; siblings Theresa Williams, Mark Mitchell and Myron (Joshalyn) Mitchell of San Diego Ca; sister in law Josephine Mitchell; loving nieces and nephews; relatives and many lifetime friends.
He was predeceased by his mother, Erma J Mitchell; brother Alvin Mitchell; Aunts Marie and Myrdis Mitchell; Uncles Eugene, John, and Jeremiah Mitchell. His last discussion with family was about the song, My Soul Has Been Anchored In the Lord.
