Mitchell Gordon Fleming, 62, of Chattanooga, passed away from natural causes at his home on October 6, 2024.

Born in Chattanooga on Dec. 9, 1961, to Gordon and June Fleming, Mitchell spent his childhood playing outdoors with his dog, Hunter, and shooting with his dad. He attended Boyd Buchanan School and, after graduating, entered the workforce where he held positions at several notable companies including Chattanooga Bakery, Brock Candy Company, and, most recently, Chattem/Sanofi where he was a dedicated employee for more than 23 years. He was a former member of Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Mitchell was preceded in death by his father and best friend, Gordon Fleming.

He is survived by his loving mother, June Card Fleming, and his sister, Joan Burroughs Seaman (Craig). He was a beloved uncle to Travis (Heather), David (Lyndsi) and Graham Lane, Mark (Heather) and Andy Burroughs, and a great-uncle to Bella Grace and Maddox Burroughs.

Mitchell found great joy in spending time with his family, especially when playing card games and indulging in his love of music. His gentle spirit will be greatly missed by all.

Family will receive friends from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10, in the East Brainerd Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home.

A graveside service to celebrate Mitchell’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 11, at Card Cemetery in Soddy Daisy.
