I was shocked and deeply saddened when I heard of Mitchell's passing. To me, he was a smart, ambitious, creative, funny, and warm student, with impeccable manners. He was an excellent student in my Computer Programming for Engineers course, at the University of Alberta, in the Winter Term of 2015. Mitchell won one category of my extracurricular programming contest. He developed a fantasy game called "Tales from Veilenia". He wrote almost 13,000 lines of code! He also made a 5 minute video, incorporating some of his friends and props, that racked up over 500 views on YouTube. I was pleased to hear from Mitchell from time to time, since then, and was always happy to provide a reference for him, e.g., for work placements and summer jobs. Mitchell's family and friends are going to miss him the most, of course, but truly it is a big loss for all of us.
