Mitch was a very big part of my teenage years, he was the very first real relationship I ever had. We laughed, a lot. He always wanted to help others and did everything to make you smile. I will always remember him and the good moments. Sending my deepest condolences to his family in this very difficult time. Rest easy, Mitch, now you’re at peace.

Both my husband Mo and I send our deepest sympathies to the Parker family. I have seen Mitch’s boys playing outside their grandparents’ home many times. They were always full of fun!
We are so very sorry for your loss Rose, Chris, and Family.
Sincerely,
Eileen and Mo Molinari

You were my voice of reason, my 6am phone call go-to, my co-author to our book, my story time guy and most of all, my best friend. Mitch, I hate and love you so much right now but I know there are no do-overs, there are no magic potions or time machines. I’ll tell Evan and Grayson mostttt of our crazy stories, obviously when they get older. I’ll laugh and definitely shake my head at our times together and keep those memories alive. I’ll avoid shrimp appetizers with bugs. I’ll choose car washes wisely and I’ll remember you every day until we meet again. There’s not a single soul like you. That is what made you the person you are, and I will terribly miss that every single day. I love you my brother.

Mitch my dear friend, words cannot express how much you will be missed. We have been friends for over 25 years. You are one of the best people l I have been blessed to know and be a part of my life. We grew up as the foxboro crew and had that special connection amazing friendships, I will never forget when we were in 10th grade and you got me a giant Valentine’s Day teddy bear and you brought it onto the school bus. You were always the nicest sweetest kindest person ever. I was so happy to see you at my party 6 months ago just seeing the big old Mitch smile made me smile and those two boys are the most amazing little man that you have raised. May you watch over them and protect them My heart is broken for you and your family May you dance with the angels. Love you My friend.
