Essynce Mitchell, a beloved Cleveland, OH native, has sadly passed away at the age of 25. A dedicated athlete and cherished friend, Essynce was known for her bright energy, contagious enthusiasm, and unwavering passion for everything she pursued.
From 2017 to 2020, Essynce was an integral member of the Hiram Cheer & STUNT program, playing a key role in the team’s success. As part of the inaugural STUNT class, she made her mark as a main base, demonstrating incredible strength, skill, and teamwork. Her dedication and perseverance were undeniable, and within her first year of STUNT competition, she earned a tumbling position, a testament to her work ethic and commitment.
However, Essynce’s impact extended far beyond the cheer mat. Her vibrant personality and compassionate spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Whether she was cheering on the sidelines, competing in STUNT, or simply sharing her joy with friends and teammates, she brought warmth, laughter, and encouragement to those around her.
Essynce was more than an athlete—she was a friend, a teammate, a motivator, and a source of inspiration to many. Her love for life and people was evident in everything she did.
The loss of Essynce is deeply felt by her friends, coaches, teammates, and the entire Hiram community. As we grieve her passing, we also celebrate the beautiful legacy she leaves behind—the memories, the laughter, and the light she shared with so many.
Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to Essynce’s family, loved ones, and all who were touched by her incredible spirit. May her memory live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
