It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mitchell Ryan Emery. After a ten year courageous and brave battle with glioblastoma, he passed away peacefully knowing he was loved deeply by his family and friends on December 9, 2022.
Mitchell was born on May 5, 1986 in Lancaster, NH. He was the son of Lynn and Roger Emery.. Mitchell lived in Lancaster most of his life. He attended Lancaster Elementary School and graduated from White Mountains Regional High School. In his early years, Mitchell loved playing sports. He received the Lou Leaver Award in his eighth grade year. In his later years, Mitchell had a passion for adventure. He was a snowmobile racer, stock car racer, and had a knack for being in the right place at the right time during hunting season.
Mitchell loved being around family and friends. He was the life of the party and loved to have a good time. He was quick witted, a practical joker, and always had a big smile on his face. He loved golfing and playing poker with his buddies.
Mitchell was the sales manager at Moms North Country in Groveton, NH. Anyone who knew Mitchell, knew he had a passion for his job. He was known for his knowledge of product, his honesty, and loyalty to his customers. He received Polaris Industries’ Top Gun Award for sales for all of the Northeast in 2020.
The family would like to extend sincere gratitude to the many family, friends, and caregivers that gave him the will to fight during all his treatments. No matter how bleak things looked, Mitchell’s motto in life was, “NO BIG DEAL!” Mitchell was always thinking of others. His last act of kindness was to be an organ donor hoping to make a difference for someone else.
He is survived by the love of his life, his daughter, Madisyn Ryanne Emery. Her mother, Britny Emery; his parents Lynn and Roger Emery; his best friend and brother Nicholas Emery and wife Stephanie Emery; His nephew and niece, Keene and Victoria Emery; His lifetime friend and “brother” Derek Snowman.
