Kaden Whitney Obituary
1995-2015
Centerfield, Utah-
On September 16, 2015, our beautiful son, brother, uncle and friend, Kaden Dene Whitney finished his calling here on earth, passing away during his sleep at home in Centerfield, Utah.
Kaden was born June 22, 1995 in Delta, Utah to Eric and Janell Rawlinson Whitney. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to the Gunnison Valley where he was a short life resident of the area and active in many school and Church activities.
He had many talents from walking on his tippy toes, having his own language to playing every sport he could get his hands on. He loved music, and spent many hours playing the guitar. He had a special talent of being able to "play by ear".
Kaden loved the Church. He loved preaching the Gospel. He loved his mission in Mississippi. He loved his family.
He is survived by his parents, Eric and Janell Whitney of Centerfield; siblings: Jenna Whitney of Centerfield, Devon Whitney of St. George, Hunter Whitney of Centerfield; girl friend, Hannah Mongie of Provo; grandmother, Karen Whitney of Spanish Fork; niece, Brinley and nephews, Kenyon and Knox; many uncles, aunts and cousins.
Preceded in death by grandparents, Neil C. And Verdene Rawlinson; Ranell Whitney.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, September 21, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in the Gunnison LDS Stake Center, where friends may call on Sunday evening from 6 to 8 or on Monday from 9:30 to 10:30. Burial will be in the Fayette Cemetery. Funeral directors, Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook www.maglebymortuary.com

Was so sad to read this. I have a 20 year old son and he had a younger 17 year old brother Jonathon who just 20 weeks ago died in his sleep. Just 8 weeks short of his 18th birthday. I still cant believe that he could just go to bed and never wake up. His autopsy showed that he died from Natural causes. They think it was his heart but are doing further genetic testing. He also loved sports and music and also learned to play the guitar by ear. He was beautiful and handsome just like your young man. I am so sorry for your loss. I think there is no greater loss than losing your child. I am heartbroken as I can imagine you all are too. It is so sudden and such a shock. I really felt for you all.

Kaden was one of my best friends when I lived in Centerfield. He was so sweet, caring, and funny. He put a smile on everyone's face. I know he is up in heaven making everyone laugh and smile.

I never met him in person, but I sure talked to him. And you know what? I dint have to actually meet him to know he was an awesome guy.

Elder Whitney was my son's zone leader in Mississippi. He appreciated all that Elder Whitney did and we are thankful for him. May his family be blessed and comforted.

Elder Whitney truly left his mark in Mississippi. One can not think of him and not see his smile. My families thoughts and prayers go out to those close to him. We look forward to seeing our brother again someday.

Prayers for comfort for the Whitney family. I knew him as a missionary in my branch. I knew him only a short time, but his impact on my life is unmeasurable. To his parents especially, love from Mississippi.
