Unvaccinated Virginia couple die from COVID – leaving behind five kids


A Virginia couple in their 40s who refused pleas from their family to get the COVID-19 vaccine because they read misinformation online passed away from the disease within two weeks of each other, leaving behind five children and an infant grandson.

High school sweethearts Kevin, 48, and Misty Mitchem, 46, regretted not taking the vaccine just before they died, according to their bereaved loved ones.

Misty Mitchem, a medical transcriptionist by trade, declined to get the shot even though she had diabetes.

‘He called me up [from the hospital] and said, “Mom, I love you and I wish that I’d got the shot”,’ Kevin’s mother, Terry Mitchem, told NBC Washington.

‘Of course I told him, “It’s past. You can’t do anything about it”.’

The couple is survived by their four young children: Riley, 17; Leah, 14; and twins Taylor and Aiden, 11.

Kevin Mitchem had one daughter, Angel, 22, from a previous relationship. Angel is the mother of Lincoln, who will turn two in November.

After their parents’ deaths, the four younger children went to live with an aunt and uncle in South Carolina, according to Kevin’s brother, Mike Mitchem of Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

‘Both our families have been turned upside down,’ Mike Mitchem told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

‘The kids are the main thing. His oldest daughter just had a son, and I’m sure she wanted him to get close with his grandfather, and that’s not gonna happen now.’

According to Mike Mitchem, Kevin Mitchem developed a cough last month and went to an urgent care facility in Stafford County. He was then sent home with cold medicine.

Kevin Mitchem then returned to the urgent care facility a few days later after he wasn’t feeling any better, his brother said.

He then tested positive for COVID-19.

Days later, Misty Mitchem, who was diabetic, started feeling ill. She was then sent to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where she was treated for COVID-19.

‘Kevin called me on a Monday and said, “Misty’s in the hospital”,’ Kevin’s father, Don Mitchem, said.
