In Memoriam - Mitch Davidson - MVOA Official

The WWVL board would like to provide condolences and support to the family of Mitch Davidson. Mitch was a long-serving member of the MVOA and contributed to the WWVL by reffing countless matches throughout the years. 

He also continued to support the league as a high ranking official with the Manitoba Volleyball Officials Association across the numerous leagues in Winnipeg/Manitoba, and he probably reffed most of our members at one time or another. He was dedicated and passionate about volleyball and had a positive influence on many of us. It is so sad that he will no longer be with us.

Below are the words provided by Jennifer Chiappetta:

=================================

Sadly our husband, Brother, Dad and Uncle- Mitch Davidson has passed away January 31, 2025. We are all so devastated by his loss.

Mitch was born March 22, 1957 and spent his early years in Ft Rouge. The family moved to Transcona in 1965. It was an awesome place to grow up. Mitch excelled at all sports- but his love was always Volleyball. He had continued to be involved in the community right up until his passing and was an International referee. He reffed at the London Olympics and the Beijing Olympics and we were so proud and thrilled for him.

In 2011-he met the love of his life Michelle and together they made a wonderful home together. And then they had Mitchell Jr. Mitch’s capacity to love that little guy even surprised Mitch. He was over the moon. He became Mr. Mom and the two of them did everything together. Mitch and MJ loved to attend WinManVolleyball camp and piano lessons, swimming and reffing.

Mitch always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He brought sunlight everywhere he went.

He will be so, so missed. We are all still in disbelief that he’s really gone.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the Grace Hospital for all your kindness and compassion for our family.

A celebration of life will be held in the spring. It will be posted on Facebook with details to follow. 

Such a Short Life for Someone so Full of Life.

Thank you to everyone for your outpouring of Love and Support.

~ The Davidson and Chiappetta Families
