Mitchell Craig Petersen, our loving son, brother, grandson, and friend returned home to his loving Heavenly Father on November 20th, 2023 in Spanish Fork, Utah. Mitchell was born to Mandy Lynn Adams and Jake Craig Petersen (deceased) on June 15th, 2005 in American Fork, Utah. He was a proud older brother to Brantley Wayne Adams.
Mitchell graduated from Salem Hills High School in May, 2023. He also attended East Meadows Elementary and Salem Junior High where he was a favorite of many of his teachers.
Mitchell was an Expert Marksman, competing in trapshooting as a member of the Skyline X Shooting Team where he received his letter in Trapshooting with an NRA Distinguished Expert Award. He finished his shooting career winning quite often, with an impressive personal best of shooting a 99/100 at the state level in 2021.
Mitchell had many hobbies including fishing, hunting, fixing cars and vehicles, and spending time with friends and family. Mitchell was a phenomenal story-teller and had excellent taste in music, specifically old-school country music. He was ridiculously clever and funny and always good for a stimulating conversation on almost any topic.
Mitchell was preceded in death by his aunt, Elizabeth Roberts and great-grandparents, Jack and Joan Roberts.
