Mitchall Adam Austin

Newington – Mitchall Adam “Tradin’ Mitch” Austin, age 61, passed away Friday, July 16, 2021, in Savannah, GA. He was born in Savannah, GA to Gene Austin and the late Jacquelyn Scott Austin. He graduated from Screven County High School, Class of 1978. Mitchall loved his community very much and was a family man who was known to be a father and grandfather first, a friend second, and a hunter third.  He was a heavy equipment operator for the Wade Plantation in Screven for the past several years before his retirement. He worked for Screven County Speedway for years and he also worked for the Screven County Fire Department and the Screven County Sheriff's Department for many years.  He will be remembered fondly as the owner of Austin Mobile Homes in Sylvania, where his nickname was "Tradin' Mitch" and his favorite saying was "We won't get your goat unless you want me to."  Mitchell always told others how the best thing my dad did for me was teach me how to work. As hard as he worked, he played just as hard. He also enjoyed car racing and farming, but his greatest enjoyment came from spending time with his beloved family.
