Mitrano Scholarship Formed.

Christopher Joseph Mitrano
March 20, 1991 - April 3, 2011

Christopher Mitrano, was killed in an Auto accident in Millville on April 3, 2011. Christopher grew up in Millville; he attended Millville Elementary School as well as F.W. Hartnett Middle School and was a member of the Class of 2009 at Blackstone-Millville Regional High School.

He was known for his positive attitude and contagious smile. He loved to entertain and he performed many times at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church and the Millville Senior Center with this “spot-on” impersonation of “The King” Elvis Presley, which is how the senior citizens in Millville-Blackstone identified him.

He held the lead role in “Grease” as Danny Zuko with his sixth grade class.
He also had a beautiful singing voice and led the National Anthem at BMR
sporting events. Not only was he talented as a dramatic performer, but his love of music inspired him to be self taught on the drums and guitar.

Above all he had a deep love and loyalty to his family and friend. His bond with his younger brother Nicholas, and his dad “Big” Chris was so strong that he became known as “the Mitrano-3”. His mother Margo and two older sisters Ariana and Sasha were his biggest guardians and cheerleaders. He had a very close knit group of friends who were known as the “LJC” (Lumber Jack Crew) and they could be identified by “representin’” in plaid lumber jack shirts and jackets; a fun bunch of kids who all miss Chris.

He attended Worcester State College, aspiring to become a High School History Teacher. He also was an extremely hard worker with a great work ethic; he held two part-time jobs while attending college. He was employed at UPS, and at Milford Regional Medical Center in the Dietary and Maintenance Department.  He worked at MRMC all through high school as well.

Christopher lived life to the fullest, never forgetting the spirit of his inner child, he was sensitive to the needs of others, always there to lend a helping hand and he stuck up for the little guy, he was a friend to all whose path he crossed. His lust for life should served as an inspiration to those he
left behind.

Money is being raised to start a continuing Scholarship for a graduating senior at Blackstone-Millville Regional High School in Chris’ memory. What better way to knor the memory of a fun loving and caring young man. Local area businesses are being asked for donations as well as individuals.

Thank you so much for your support!
