Mitch attended the International School of Brussels, “ISB” from 1981 to 1988, graduated from Kentwood High School in 1990, and went on to graduate in 1995 from Washington State University with a BA in Communications. Mitch lived a life of youthful optimism, courage, and fierce loyalty to his family and friends. He was our “Gentle Giant”, stoic and loving.Mitch is survived by his parents, John and Mary Lynn Fader, sister LynnDee Fader, nephew Tyler, and fiancé Stephanie Africano.
