Mitchell Wood Russell, 23, of Severna Park MD passed suddenly on Friday, June 7 ^th , 2019. Mitch was the cherished son of Stacey Wood Russell, adored brother of Wade Russell, the boyfriend of the love of his life Samantha Prager, his stepfather Pete Freeman and stepbrothers Will and Quinn Freeman.

He was loved by all who knew him because his heart was as big as he was, and he gave that love unconditionally to his family and friends. This is his legacy; the unconditional love and caring that he gave to anyone he met, especially family and his many, many friends. There was a special place in Mitch's heart for all the worlds' creatures, especially rescue animals. In his life he had been a part of rescuing four cats, and recently his newest love a rescue dog named Ghost. Mitch loved doing just about anything with his girlfriend Sam. He loved going to his family camp in the Adirondacks and anything to do with assembling, disassembling, programming, and playing with computers. When he would emerge out of his computer lair, he loved being with friends eating good food, hiking, music (especially live music), playing the piano, wearing flannels, and watching horror movies.

In addition to his mother, brother and girlfriend, he is survived by his grandparents Sharon Wood and Ray Wood, his uncles Steve Wood and Chris Wood, and Aunt Joan Wood. He is also survived by his cousins Tori, AJ, Collin, and Kelsey.  Additionally, Mitch is survived by his father Tim Russell.  His Aunt Emma Consoli, Uncle Joe Consoli, Aunt Terri Russell and many cousins.

Mitch attended Severna Park High School class of 2014 where he discovered his passion for computers. He was a senior at Towson University, pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a Math minor. Mitch had participated in countless Green Hornets sports, was a scout in troop 339, and was an avid skate boarder. He will be dearly missed by those who were fortunate enough to know him.
