Mr. Richard Earl "Maine" Mitchell was born February 16, 1985 to Richard E. Madkins Jr. and Vanda Mitchell.

He accepted Christ at an early age and joined the Mt Zion M.B. Church.

Richard was a father, brother, son and friend to many.

He was a 2004 graduate of South Panola High School in Batesville, MS. He played football and was great on the field. The team called him "Tippy-Toes" because Richard always ran fast on his toes. Richard held a tied record in interceptions for the state of Mississippi.

He will always be remembered for his great football performance.

Later in Richard's life he began to move on to bigger and greater accomplishments, and resided in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On August 11, 2021 the Lord chose one of His most talented achieves that we will truly miss.

Richard leaves to cherish his precious memories. His childhood upbringing to his adopted family Aunt/Mom Elizabeth Lake, Henry Lazerick Pernell, Jeffery Wright, the late Prentiss and Joshua Madkins. Elizabeth Lake was able to give Richard unconditional love, a home and a family. She will always cherish every moment she had with Richard "Maine" forever.
