Mitchell, 47, a long-time resident of California City, California, passed away Saturday, November 16, 2002, at Hudson Manor Nursing Home in Secaucus, NJ. He was born March 13, 1955, in New York City to William A. Mitchell and Thelma McIntyre Mitchell. As a young teenager Tony moved with his family to California City in 1970, where he attended and graduated from high school in 1974.

Tony was selected as a relay torchbearer for the 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles and helped to create the "Youth Legacy Kilometers" program.

Tony carried the torch the last half-mile, which traveled through a minimum of 26 cities and hundreds of communities across the country. Tony actively participated in the Special Olympics Games in track, and skiing in the Winter Special Olympic Games, winning silver and bronze medals.
