Mitchell Anthony Solan

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mitchell Anthony Solan on September 27, 2024 in Temecula, California. Mitchell had a kind and gentle soul, to know him was to love him. He was a loving son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend.

Mitchell was born to Alta “Alli” (Moses) and Jim Solan in Butte and grew up in Anaconda, Montana. He was a natural athlete and was involved in many different sports during his youth with a huge passion for football. He graduated from Anaconda High School in 2012. After high school, he spent time living in Missoula, Anaconda, Butte, and Helena.

In 2018, Mitchell moved to Huntington Beach, California to live with his brother Derek. This is when he began his construction career. He was a fast learner and fell in love with the trade. Mitchell quickly rose to management becoming a project manager, overseeing multi-million-dollar home remodels and new construction. He spent his last couple years working as a maintenance supervisor at Rancho Milagro Recovery Center in Temecula, California. He was also an independent contractor, recently receiving his Class A General Contractor License and starting his own construction business, MAS Construction. His goal was to build affordable housing for middle class families in Southern California.

Mitchell loved the outdoors. He was always up for any kind of adventure. He loved to surf, snow board, hike, camp, and rock climb. He also loved to lift weights, be in the gym, and attend football games. He recently got into salsa dancing and developed some special friendships within that dance community.

Mitchell’s legacy will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved him. His unwavering kindness, infectious smile, and generosity touched the lives of many. As we say our final goodbyes, we find comfort in the countless memories we shared and the profound impact Mitchell had on our hearts. May his spirit continue to inspire us, and may we honor his memory by living with the same compassion and joy that Mitchell brought into the world. We hope you can finally rest in peace, dear Mitchell. You will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
