Michael Whitt Obituary

WHITT Michael L. Whitt, age 66, of Pickerington, passed away Monday, September 6, 2010, at his residence. He was born May 5, 1944, served in the United State Marines, and retired after 27 years of service with the Coca Cola Co. He was preceded in death by his parents Cecil L. and Cecilia M. Whitt. He is survived by his wife, Jackie; son, Scott (Amy) Whitt and Scott's mother, Diane Whitt; grandchildren, Serrin and Ryne Whitt and Grace and Zachary Erwin; brother, Patrick (Rosemary) Whitt; step-children, Jayne (Kim Cowgur) Erwin and Regina (Jim Mack) Erwin; and dearly loved nieces, nephews and other close family members and friends. He was a friend to everyone, who had a great laugh, amazing smile and loved life. If a person could have a mascot to represent them, Mike's choice would be a "smiley face". Mike's only request for his obituary was for "everyone to keep smiling". The family will receive friends Sunday, 2-3 p.m., at the DWAYNE R. SPENCE FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, 550 Hill Road North (St. Rt. 256), Pickerington, OH, 43147, where a memorial service will follow at 3 p.m. with military honors. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Kids 'N Kamp, 3440 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, OH 43202, in Mike's memory. Online condolences at www.spencefuneralhome.com.

As a former Co-worker and friend at Coca-Cola, I want to send my condolences to Mike's family. We were in sales together and many times he spoke with great pride of his son. I enjoyed working with a person who was full of laughter and could raise your spirits and bring laughter to everyone around him. He will be greatly missed.

This will sound strange, but when I moved to the neighborhood my house was plagued with mice. I tried everything, and my neighbor MIKE WHITT fixed the problem. I will never,ever, forget that wonderful man. God Bless all. Scott your Dad was awesome. I know he is is in heaven,

Sorry to hear of Mike's passing. My thoughts and prayers to his family. Looking now at a picture of Mike and myself graduating from Marine Corps boot camp in 1962. We were good friends in the Corps and saw each other over the years while working in Columbus. Mike was always cheerful and in good spirits. I am truly saddened and will miss him. Semper fi ol' buddy.
