Eddie Mitchell

Novenia ann young

 Revelation 14:13

Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the

Lord, from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”


Eddie Mitchell was born on April 12, 1946, in Grady, AR, to the late Jackson and

Elizabeth Mitchell. Eddie accepted Christ at an early age at the Landmark Baptist Church in

Ferda, AR, where Reverend I. V. Caldwell presided.

As a child, Eddie enjoyed playing practical jokes with family and friends. He was

adventurous and enjoyed exploring the bayous and wooded areas with his brother William and a

few other kids. Some of this playfulness diminished as he grew and rural farm work (chopping cotton and feeding hogs) required his attention. He managed to find time to participate in softball games as it allowed him to temporarily escape the grueling farm work. it was stolen my office In the spring of 1965, Eddie graduated from Tucker Rosenwald high school. Realizing

farming wasn’t his calling, he enlisted in the United States Air Force as the Vietnam War

escalated. While in the military, Eddie served as a culinary chef (cook) in Thailand. He would

proudly declare that he was the best cook on base! Eddie was honorably discharged in early 1970 and returned to Little Rock, AR. Upon his return to civilian life, He met Cleo Jones and quickly realized she was the love of his life. They united in holy matrimony in June of 1970. Eddie and Cleo relocated to the Red Oak community where they purchased a house and created a home. As their future unfolded, they welcomed their first born, Tiki, followed by Jera. Ultimately, the family moved to McClellan Drive in Little Rock where their third child, Ruan, was born.

Eddie worked at the Colonial Bread company for over 20 years before retiring in 1996.

He had delivered loads of bread to many customers. Soon, he would find his new calling. He would continue to be a bread man, but now he would deliver the Bread of Life. Reverend

Mitchell’s call to the ministry included pastoral duties at New Light Baptist Church, New Hope

Baptist Church, Sweet Home Baptist Church, and assistant pastor at Greater Second Baptist.

Reverend Mitchel strongly supported prison, hospital and nursing home ministries. He and his

dear friend and brother-in-Christ, Reverend James Parker, were constant visitors to those

incarcerated and incapacitated, delivering the Bread of Life. In addition, the following ministers:

Eddie Hughes, Rueben Stocker and Marcus Heard often supported and accompanied them during

the various outreach ministries. Reverend Mitchell also enjoyed singing in the music ministry.

Reverend Mitchell’s transition was preceded by the following sibling: four sisters, Fannie

Mae Turner (Henry), Rosetta Lindsay (Lee Andrew), Beatrice Young and Ruthie Mae Banks;

seven brothers, Napoleon Dillard, James, Jackson Jr., JD, Walter, Virgil and baby boy who

passed at birth. He leaves to cherish his memory and legacy his wife of 52 years, Cleo Mitchell,

daughter, Tiki Mitchell, 2 sons, Jera and Ruan Mitchell (Falon), siblings, Roosevelt, William

(Betty) and Juanita Miller (Odell), 4 grandchildren, Kierra, Jera Jr., River and Ryder, and an

array of loving nieces and nephews and other family members. He will be truly missed.
