Mitchel Brent Hatch Obituary (1956

Mitchel Brent Hatch was born July 25, 1956 in Salt Lake City to Brent Schow Hatch and Sara Orton Hatch and big sister Rachel. Upon completion of his happy - and all too short - time here, he passed on gracefully at home at Panguitch Lake, in the arms of his loving wife, Lottie, on February 3, 2024. Mitch and Rachel grew up in Salt Lake City and Richfield and enjoyed spending time with their grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins in Panguitch and at Panguitch Lake. Mitch was an extremely proud and devoted father to his only son, Sean Ogden Hatch, and times they had together were treasured. Sean, and Mitchs daughter-in-law, Lisa Percell Hatch, live in Gilroy, California with their two children, Mitchs beloved grandchildren, Virginia Joan Hatch and Mitchel Lawrence Hatch. Mitch graduated from Richfield High in 1974 and received a Bachelor of Philosophy degree from the University of Utah in 1978. He maintained that he used his degree every day in navigating lifes ups and downs. He liked nothing more than having a problem in need of a logical solution. Mitch was a great lover of life. He saw the positive in every situation and made his choices from there. There was not much, in his opinion, that couldnt be solved satisfactorily. He was a kind, nice man who treated everyone fairly and as hed like to be treated. Mostly, he was as straight-forward a guy as youll ever meet. Mitch was a warm and generous friend and the life of any party. To know him was to love him and to laugh heartily with him. He was a big fan of Rock and Roll music especially the Rolling Stones - and, in general, didnt think any music written after the 70s was worth his time. Mitch was a lifetime Hotel Manager, beginning as the Night Manager at the Hotel Utah and ending with his own successful management company, Endeavor Hospitality. As a natural problem solver, he excelled at making people happy theyd chosen his establishment whether he was checking them in or carrying their bags or washing their dishes or patiently listening as they told him everything that was wrong with his hotel. He valued his employees and most of them would consider him a friend now - not an old boss. He was a hard worker, an effective manager, and an astute businessman who enjoyed success at every turn. Mitch was an animal lover which you know if you knew him. Mitch love love loved dogs (and cats) and was such a caring and indulgent boss to so many. Sam, Elvis, Astro, Moby, Lou, Zeek and Sarah- Dog have welcomed him to heaven and Bear-Dog and Bob-Cat mourn him here. Mitch is survived by his wife, Lottie Hatch, his son, Sean (Lisa) Hatch and his grandchildren Virginia and Mitch, his father, Brent Hatch, his sister Rachel Auernig (Gene Redford), and her daughters, Rachel Anne Curtis, Shannon Blake and April Petersen. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Sara Urie. A celebration of Mitchs life will be held on or about his birthday, July 25, at the Panguitch cemetery. Service Details.
