Born in Florence on January 3, 1950, Brian was the son of the late Joseph and Bridget (Laffin) Mitchelitis.

In his free time, Brian enjoyed bowling, baseball, and playing pool. He was a member of St. Joseph’s Church in North Sydney.

Brian is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Sharlene (Quirk) Mitchelitis, as well as many nieces and nephews that Brian was very fond of.

Besides his parents, Brian was predeceased by brothers Joseph, Russell, Billy, and Gordon, along with his sister Mary McGean.
