Bradley C. Mitchell

Bradley C. Mitchell, age 62, passed away on September 18, 2022, after a year long courageous battle with cancer. He was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Ells Mitchell and his brothers, Michael and Joel. He is survived by his father, Duane and step-mother Sandy; sister, Laurie; brother, Patrick; and sisters-in-law, Julie and Jody. He is also survived by his aunt and uncle, Barbara and Jack; cousin, Jason (and wife, Chandler); aunt, Carol; niece, Jennifer; nephews, Eren, Aden, Leif, Trace, and Nicholas; business partners, and steadfast friend, Pam Butler. Brad started his career in the State of Florida's Department of Natural Resources, Division of Recreation and Parks and in 1989 quickly moved to the Division of State Lands to become a leader in the State Lands Records Modernization Project. This leading-edge technology project utilized all his skills in GIS Document Imaging and Computer networking. In 1997, Brad and his business partner Pam Butler created Aegis Computer Services in Tallahassee, Florida. For 24 years he served as owner, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer until his retirement in April 2021. Aegis was honored many times for the quality of service and support and their generosity while under Brad's ownership and tenure. These accolades were for him individually and for the team and culture he helped create. These included the Jim Moran Institutes Entrepreneur Excellence Award, the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce Technology Business of the Year, Florida Trends Best Places to Work, Top Manage Service Provider Worldwide by CSN Magazine and the Nobilis Aquilae Award from Tallahassee Community College Foundation. Brad was one of the founding members of the Tallahassee Technology Alliance, a Microsoft Certified Professional, and a member of the TCCF President's Circle. His kindness and generosity extended to many causes in the local community over the 24 years he was in business. He will be remembered as the hero for always finding just the right part or retired software product to "Save the day" of many of the Aegis customers. He was a fantastic business partner to Pam as she noted that he was the most brilliant technical brain she had ever known and was key to making Aegis a success. In the last few years, he used his technical expertise for good by working with the Leon High School Robotics Club, which brought him loads of joy watching these young people embrace technology as he always has. Contributions may be made in Brad’s memory to any Robotics organizations or to your favorite charity. A memorial service to celebrate Brad’s life will be held at a later date. The family is being assisted by James Sircy and Jackie Fulford of Young Fulford Funeral Home and Crematory, Tallahassee, Florida. (850.610.4444/YoungFulford.com)
