Mitchell Community College unveiled a memorial mural to Lamont Kinney on Tuesday, April 28, 2015. The mural was created by five Mitchell fine art students, Will Auten, Lindsey Donovan, Halie Gettys, Devyn Lopez and Brittany Smith. The mural will hang in the College’s Vocational Building lobby.
Kinney was dedicated to service and to people, always showing exceptional care for others. An active community member and former employee of Uniglass, Comscope, Statesville Housing Authority and Iredell Statesville Schools, Kinney served at Mitchell for seven years before he passed away unexpectedly on September 30, 2014. The mural strives to depict his personality and the impact he had on Mitchell.
