Mitch was born March 9, 1969, in Newberry, South Carolina, as the only child of Larry and the late Kathy (Black) McGee of Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina. Mitch was a proud husband to Andrea (Green) McGee (who survives) of Celina. They, together, shared a love for the city of Las Vegas, and were married there at Valley of Fire.

Mitch enjoyed computers, cars, fishing, building models, eating boiled peanuts, and traveling. He had earned a Black Belt in Karate. There was a special place in Mitch's heart for his dogs, the late Kelsey and Oakley, both Shih Tzu's. He was interested in aviation, and had his pilot's license.
