It is with broken hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Mitch Logan Fadness, age 29, a devoted single father, beloved son, and loyal friend. He departed this life on October 21, 2025, at 6:42 pm, leaving a void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Mitch was a dedicated dad, happiest when going on an adventure with his 5-year-old daughter, Ava, who lovingly called him “Daddy Mitch.” He was her world, and his greatest goal was to ensure her life was filled with fun, curiosity, and boundless creativity. Mitch curated a world of arts and crafts, stuffed toys, and dress-up clothes, fostering Ava’s vivid imagination at every turn.
His passing left an especially poignant memory of his painted fingernails and toenails, a loving gift from his little girl. It was a perfect, colorful illustration of his playful nature and deep affection for his daughter, who loved to ask him to play dress-up with her. Like the fun-loving man he was, he always said yes, ready to become any character Ava could dream up. His long hair was the perfect palette for Ava to hone her beautician skills.
Mitch was an outdoorsman who found comfort in the warmth of the southern Nevada sun over the cold of Idaho. He and Ava, accompanied by her dog, Sweetie Pie, were a familiar sight in their neighborhood, logging countless miles on his One Wheel, with Ava being pushed in a jogging stroller.
A gifted mechanic with a deep passion for engines, to him, every engine was a puzzle that he and YouTube could solve, and he was happiest with his hands covered in grease. He was everything Toyota. He owned many, including three Priuses. His humor, easygoing spirit, and ability to tackle any mechanical challenge, despite only having a left hand with a single finger and a thumb from a potato equipment accident at thirteen. Mitch was best summed up by one of his cousins: “His hair, his lips, his smooth-talking. Yeah, he was all that.”
Mitch’s unexpected departure leaves a legacy of unconditional love, a silly sense of humor, and a life lived fully for his precious daughter. He is survived by his daughter, Ava; his loving parents; Les and Angie Fadness; his older siblings and beloved nieces, Blake and Natalie Fadness (Audrey, Josie, Remi), Riley Gilbert (Quinn and Maci), and Conner Fadness (Krystal); and his grandparents Robert and Lynda Reiley. Mitch’s love will continue to be a guiding light for Ava, a warm and constant presence in her life.
There will be visitation on Friday, October 31st from 6 to 7:30pm and again Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 11:30 to 12:30 pm followed by the funeral at the St. Anthony Stake Center at 1:00 pm.
Interment will be in the Tetonia Cache Clawson Cemetery at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations for funeral and upcoming expenses.
