Guy Whitney Obituary
93 passed away peacefully on October 1, 2015 after a long and beautiful life. He was born in Tunas, Missouri where he grew up on a family farm with his three brothers, sister and many uncles. Along with his bothers, he moved to Alaska (prior to statehood) where he lived most of his life. He met and married his wife, Anita, and they had three children. He was a mechanical contractor and worked all throughout the state of Alaska. He is survived by his three children, Guy "Warren" Whitney Jr., Lynn Whitney Parker, and Jane Whitney Daniels, and his nine grandchildren. Being a husband, father, and grandfather were the greatest joy in his life. He was loved and admired by the hundreds of people who were honored to meet him, including business colleagues, government officials, and the working people he met at Costco, CVS pharmacy, and coffee shops. He was loved by all and will be missed by many. Services will be held at Hopewell Cemetery in Tunas, Missouri.

Memories and Condolences
for Guy Whitney
November 2, 2015
I worked as a subcontractor to Guy who fondly remembered my mom as "Cookie". I believe the last project we did together was at Fortuna Ledge. And that was probably 30 years ago. I hope that in the last 30 years your family made many fine memories. Contracting didn't seem to leave enough time for family so hopefully he left at the right time. Donna Brady-Robertson.

My parents were great friends of the Whitneys and my heart goes out to them. All my growing up I knew them, now that my parents too have passed, I have great photos of all of them together. I don't know if they remember me as I was probably pretty young last time they have seen me, but my heart still remembers Guy. My condolences to his family. Very heart fel

Even though you were my stepfather, I loved you as a Dad. I'm only sorry for the lost years.
You were an amazing husband to Mom. So patient with her. I miss you.

Not very often do you get the joy of knowing a "Real" man. Guy was one of them. He loved his God, wife and kids, after that came the other things in life. I am so glad that I got the joy of knowing him and his family. Heaven is much richer having Guy up there. Becky Hamsley

Your life was an inspiration to us to follow your heart and go after whatever you needed to be a success in life without compromising your walk with the Lord or ignoring your family.
