Mitchell Frank Maltsberger

Mitchell Frank Maltsberger, 15, of Oologah, passed away after a skiing accident in Colorado. He was born on February 1, 1992 in Stillwater, Oklahoma and carried the name of his maternal grandfather, Frank Maltsberger, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his parents, Joe and Terri Maltsberger; his brother Micah; sister Maggie; sister Morgan and her fiancé Phillip Bogart; grandparents Bob and Charlotte Weir and Doris Maltsberger; and cat Bonecrusher.
Mitch was a sophomore at Oologah-Talala High School; he was a true renaissance man who argued for the debate team, played tennis, sparred with the wrestling team, and played a major role in the most recent one-act play. He enjoyed hiking and camping with the Boy Scouts of Troop 238 and was working toward the rank of Eagle Scout. He loved reading comics, dancing with his sisters, beating his dad at racquetball, playing computer games with his brother, and being the apple of his mother’s eye. He was active in the ministries of the Bible Church of Owasso and the Harbor Church in Oologah.
Mitchell’s charm was rivaled only by his altruistic heart; his ability to ignite a room with laughter was surpassed only by his personal investment in the happiness of others. His natural charisma and his Christ-focused life enabled him to reach out, build relationships, and relate to all types of people. He was a great friend to many and an inspiration to all.
Visitation will be from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., January 1, at the Oologah Funeral Home. Memorial services will be held Wednesday, January 2, at 3:30 at the Oologah-Talala High School auditorium followed by a graveside service at Oak Hill Cemetery in Oologah. Flowers can be sent to the Oologah Funeral Home. Contributions for youth-related ministries in Mitch’s name can be made to the Bible Church of Owasso.
