Writing a cliche description of Daniele and the impact he had on all of our lives is probably something he'd incessantly poke fun at. Daniele aspired to be a student of life. His unquenchable curiosity was integral to his approach to the big questions and was evident in the small day to day moments and conversations shared with his family and those near. While he searched for answers in music, art, literature, and philosophy, he demonstrated in word and deed the most lasting and honest source of value and purpose is found in family. He was his daughters’ first and most important teacher, coach, mentor, and friend. He was a devoted husband, a life partner, a committed companion in travel, here and forever.

For us who remain, his absence is a force in itself. There isn't a person who stumbled upon him who won't remember his manner of speech, his embellished and colorful stories, or the way his inappropriate humor could brighten the darkest of rooms or ease the tensest of moments. Daniele lived a life full of love in a mode of being peculiar and original. Nothing describes him better than the way he met Nancy - naked on a beach in Greece, cutting a piece of leather for his long hair, reading The Colossus of Maroussi (as was Nancy, coincidentally).

Daniele's passing presses upon us the weight of unanswered questions and unfinished chapters. He would challenge us all to explore our emotions and beliefs, to search for understanding, and to face the unexplainable with courage and curiosity. Above all else, he would remind us of the power of love. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched - and perhaps most importantly – in how we live with and for each other.

This forum is an opportunity to celebrate Daniele. It is a space to share moments, memories, thoughts, jokes, photos, wishes, messages, literature, music, and philosophy with his family and one another. You are welcome to pass this space along to others. He will shine on.

Love you Papa.

George "Vinny" Mitchell, of Plainfield, Illinois died at 5:20 a.m. on Friday May 20, 2016 at Community Nursing Home Facility in Naperville, Illinois. After courageously fighting a near-lifelong battle with countless medical ailments, Vinny peacefully passed away at the young age of 54 with both dignity and valor. He will live on in the fond memories of his many friends and family who loved him so dearly.

Vinny was born on March 12, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois and was raised by his father, the late William Lee Mitchell, and mother, Patricia Ann Mitchell. In his youth, he was best known as an athlete participating in competitive football and wrestling. As a young adult, Vinny discovered great interest in fitness and participated as a competitive bodybuilder. His passion for hunting, fishing, and love for motorcycles brought him great enjoyment in his later years. When his health allowed, he was always active and pursued a diverse set of interests. However, he most adored spending time with his children.

Vinny is survived by his children - Brittany Rose Mitchell, Ashley Ann Mitchell, and Kyle Townsend; his mother - Patricia Ann Mitchell; and his three brothers - William John Mitchell, Scott Patrick Mitchell, and Marc Edward Mitchell. Vinny maintained a loving relationship with his former spouse, Sandra Mitchell, throughout co-parenting the daughters they both so loved.

An avid biker, Vinny loved his Harley Davidson motorcycle and was a very active member in the Justified Motorcycle Club, the members of which stood by his side in support and encouragement as loyal friends until the very end of his life.

Memories may be made to the Vinny Mitchell Memorial Fund set up to help fund his daughters' education. https://pages.giveforward.com/family/page-qg7y9w6

I looked up the day 3rd December 1976 on the calendar: it was a Friday and 371,000 babies were born on that day. However, this Friday was special because it was the beginning of a journey for Glory Enyidiya Okebe.
She is the 3rd child of the Late Elder Okebe U. Ukariwe and Elder (Mrs) Comfort Okebe and what an adventure it was.
When the family moved from Douala, Cameroon to Aba, Nigeria, she was enrolled at Constitution Crescent Primary School and though she was about the smallest, she certainly proved her mettle by being one of the best grandaunts in her class.
She attended the St. Joseph’s college and later moved on to study at the Institute of management technology (IMT) in Enugu where she obtained her HND in Computer Science.
She proceeded for National service (NYSC) and served at the United Bank for Africa, Minna and she was retained there; a testament to the quality that she brings to all that she sets herself to do.
She moved to Jos in February 2013 where she worked as the Area Control Manager.
When she died on the afternoon of 11th May 2016, it was a Wednesday: she had spent 14404 days on earth.
No one can truly write the biography of another’s life. Each of her has a version of it that is unique and special to us. As we reflect on moments we shared with “Glo”, we become aware of how much she reminds us of the love of God. Glory was patient and kind. She was not envious of others seeming achievements. She was neither boastful nor proud. She was not self-seeking, neither easily angered nor boastful. Even when she was unfairly treated, she kept no record of wrongs, was never a part in conspiracies but rejoiced with the truth. She was always trusting, protective of her own, hopeful even for the worst of persons and situations and, she persevered through so much.
I will summarize by the words of Elizabeth Edwards
“The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered...We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious”.
