He was preceded in death by both parents and one brother, William (Bud) Whitt.

Mr. Whitt was a wonderful father, always ready with a laugh or a hug when needed.  He took time to pick out the perfect card for someone’s special occasion or for no reason at all.  He always knew when you needed a card or just a note to say “I love you”.
