James "Jim" Mitchener Iv

July 19, 1989 — July 31, 2022

Jim Mitchener passed away on July 31, 2022, in Roanoke, Virginia. He was born July 19, 1989, in Greenville, North Carolina, the only child of mother Cary Kendall Mitchener, deceased 2013, and father James Samuel Mitchener III, of Pinehurst, North Carolina. Maternal grandparents Donald John Kendall and Lillian Graves Kendall, Fredericksburg , Virginia, and paternal grandparents James Samuel Mitchener, Jr. and Sara Carton Mitchener, Laurinburg, North Carolina, are deceased.

Jim attended North Cross School in Roanoke, and was a 2007 graduate of The Episcopal High School, in Alexandria, Virginia. He played on the varsity golf team for three seasons, and was active in music and the arts. At his commencement exercises he received the Alexander Jennette Johnston Award for Excellence in Performing Arts.

He graduated from High Point University, in High Point, North Carolina, in 2011, with a Bachelor of Science degree, and furthered his education in the School of Nursing, College of Health Sciences, in Roanoke. He was a Registered Nurse and worked eight years in several units with the Carilion Health System in Roanoke.

Jim loved his many friends and family members unconditionally. His family, friends, and coworkers have described him as an outstanding human, with a kind nature, a bright personality, and a wonderful infectious laugh. He had the ability to connect with people from all walks of life and was described as amazingly courteous, affable, and always caring for others. His chosen vocation was nursing, but music was his passion. He was a talented guitarist and musician, but he also loved outdoor life, especially golf, cycling, skiing, boating, and hiking.

If you wish to make a memorial contribution, choose an organization based on his interests in the arts, the environment, and climate change.
