John Whittaker Obituary
John Scott ‘Scotty’ Whittaker
August 26, 1985 – November 6, 2022
Scotty was born in San Jose, California. He moved to Petaluma, California on his birthday in 1996. He loved his trampoline in the back yard. One night when he was put to bed, he asked “When will I be able to fly?” Scotty had such a big heart and he could make everyone smile.
Scotty also loved his music. He had an ear for it and was always creating new songs. His passion was his music studio, where he would sit for hours coming up with new material.
He is survived by his stepfather, Robert P. Clot, brother, Don P. Clot, sisters, Jessica J-M- Clot & Veranika V. Burrell, and his girlfriend, Mary ‘Diane’ Patalinghug.
Scotty left us way too soon, but he will always be in our hearts and prayers. Now he is with his mother once again.
A viewing for Scotty will be on November 18th, 2022 from 2-4pm at Pleasant Hills Memorial Park in Sebastopol, Ca.

I'll never forget John W. Who was extremely multi -Talented in recording Music.
I may still have a few of his beginning specifics recordings. He was a wonderful human being, one who just absolutely Loved his mother without questions. Just by listening to him talk. You can see him being a Mommy's boy.
I sang a note or two on a couple of CD's in the state of Oregon.
I'm going to miss John W.
Blessings,

I knew Scott from work and he was a very gentle sweet soul. His passion for music was obvious in the joy you could see on the his face when he was working in a project he loved. Especially live bands and onstage music. You could tell that’s where he was in his element.
Scott I hope your family can sometimes still hear your music, whispering to them in the wind, some cold winter night like these. It would be cod comfort I know, but loving comfort non the less. Sing with the angels now, for you to know have your wings, and all what heaven itself brings.

I knew John from seeing and talking to him through my work at Local 16. I only heard yesterday of his passing and wanted to say that he will be missed. He was always positive, kind and willing to help anyone that needed a hand -- even if he was just passing by and not even on your particular project. Too many of our friends are leaving early these days and, many times, because they are trying to fill an emptiness that we all have in common. Help is out there for us if we need it and we should offer a hand to one another in the name of our lost friends like John. I offer my condolences and fond memories to his family and those who were close to him. RIP, Brother.

"What unexpected and sad news. Too young to go. I still see the four-year-old who was already learning to read, hear him sounding out the words.

I will always remember my little brother as that little boy that loved to play in the dirt and play video games. He grew up to be a good-hearted man that loved his family and wanted really bad to do good. Losing our mom was very hard on him but now they are together again where he can rest easy. Scotty, you were my brother and I've loved you since the moment you were born and will love you forever.
