Robert Whitson Obituary
September 3, 1945 - December 22, 2020
Seattle, Washington -
On Tuesday, December 22, 2020, Dr. Robert Lee Whitson, beloved brother, father, and grandfather passed away due to complications of an acute illness at the age of 75.
Robert was born on September 3, 1945 in Portland, Maine to Lyle and Lorraine Whitson. He was a competitive athlete in high school sports including football, wrestling, basketball, and track and field. He attended the University of Maine, graduating in 1969 with a degree in economics. While completing his undergraduate education, he became politically active and was elected as a state representative in 1971. He eventually went on to attend Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, where he completed his medical education in 1980.
After completing his medical internship in Plantation, FL, he moved to rural Mississippi, where he started a family and established a medical clinic providing care for a medically underserved community for several years. He then completed his residency training in Family medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
Following his medical board certification training, he moved to Washington state, and in 1994 he eventually settled in Richland, where he established his family medicine practice.
Dr. Whitson had an adventurous spirit and whether he was traveling to Central America or the Pacific Coast, he always preferred to take the roads less traveled. He introduced his children to nature through frequent camping, hiking and climbing adventures in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Dr. Whitson was a very intelligent man with an unparalleled hunger for knowledge. He enjoyed keeping up with current events and at any given time could be found with a New York Times in hand. He was a strong advocate for higher education and actively encouraged his children to pursue excellence in their academics. He generously opened his home to his children and supported them in their various educational and professional endeavors. Among his children, two have gone on to medical professions - no doubt a result of their father's influence on them.
Dr. Whitson was a compassionate and caring physician, who was dedicated to providing quality patient care. He cherished his relationships with his patients, and as much as he was their doctor, he was also their friend and confidant. He embraced his role as a father, a friend and a healer. He will be missed dearly.
Dr. Whitson was preceded in death by his brother, Donald, his mother, Lorraine, and his father, Lyle. He is survived by his four children Hunter, Forrest, Shaman, and Sierra; his grandchildren Kaden, Oliver, Huxley, and Kora; and sisters Wanda Whitson, Kathleen Delcourt, and Sandra Gora.

Dr Whitson became my primary doctor in 2017. He was the only doctor I ever felt comfortable enough with to explain my mental health issues to and the only one to ever listen and not say that everything that was wrong with me was because I was overweight or a smoker. He understood I was poor and couldn't afford a lot of things so he never pushed for useless tests or expensive medications, he helped me within my means. He never failed to make me laugh or explain things in a way I understood. I still think of him regularly, and I haven't found another doctor that I've liked since.
Family, if you read this, I hope you take great pride in having had Robert in your lives. He enriched mine greatly just as a short visit patient.

Dr Whitson was our family doctor many years ago. We appreciated his personality and ability to make us feel comfortable. Is there a way we can still request copies of our medical records? If anyone knows please email me with information.

Robert Whitson was such a wonderful man and Doctor that even when my son and I (both patients of DOC) would run into him in public he always made the time to say hi and chat. This was so nice and especially helpful as he was very aware of my son being attacked by 6-8 other boys more than once (middle school aged at the time) that made him become incredibly shy especially in public. I always thanked him for his niceties and efforts and he always would tell me "Anything for the boy, just let me know". He was truly a gifted and blessed human. He had such a positive impact on my son and I that he still speaks of him to this day. Way to go DOC! And as always THANK YOU.

Hi. My name is Fabienne Hickman. I had the pleasure of meeting doctor Whitson in 2016 and he treated me for an illness I had for 11 years. He treated me with kindness and as a friend helping a friend. I was embarrassed to come to see any doctor for my illness and Dr. Whitson cared for my vulnerable and fragile state of mind. I do appreciate his car greatly down to this day and for the rest of my life. He will be greatly missed for his kind attitude. Rest easy, my friend.

I had the honor of meeting Dr Whitson for a routine checkup in 2019. I’m new to the Tri’s. I really enjoyed the visit. We talked for over 30 minutes! What Dr nowadays does this? He was a unique Dr and very much appreciated . He was human and who doesn’t appreciate this in the world we live in today. RIP Dr Whitson
It was a true honor to meet you.

My deepest sympathy to the family. He will be greatly missed. He was funny, caring, compassionate and my advocate. For years he was mine and my late husband’s doctor. He saw me through my journey of becoming completely disabled and made sure I always I had the paperwork, medication and referrals I needed. He helped my late husband and I through his diagnosis of terminal cancer with such compassion. He made sure I sought mental health care for my depression after I was widowed and took care of all my medication needs. I doubt I Will ever meet a doctor or a man like him again.

You will be dearly missed! If you know Dr Whitson you understand what a brilliant mind he had but was still a down to earth man. He was easy to carry on a conversation with on about any subject. Such a great loss!

Dr Whitson is irreplaceable. He will always be the light I try to find in every future physician. You knew when you had your time with him he was going find the answer. He involved me in every decision while always making sure he covered every possibility. I always hoped he would live forever so we could talk about Mexico and I would have someone I trusted implicitly with my serious health issues. His passing has left a huge whole in the tri cities medical field. Irreplaceable

Dr Whitson was my personal physician for several decades, he was a very good Dr & a very great guy...we used to crack each other up with stories of our life. He will be sorely missed by me & others he impacted with his bedside manner, I will miss him and his comfortable personality, as I'm sure his other patients have expressed. Goodbye Dr Whitson, I'm blessed to have had you in my life..shine on!

I learned last night from a friend that my Doctor and Friend Has gone on his last hike to the mountains. I will miss him I am alive today because of something he noticed during a visit for an entirely different reason. He has been my friend and confident for many years. He helped me thru my wife's death ten years ago not with medicine but as a trusted friend to talk things out with. He was a kind man who remembered who you were as a person not just a client. He remembered your ups and downs and always had a good word to say when he saw you in the office or on the street. He was a lion in the medical profession and a true scholar and gentleman. Goodbye my friend and advisor YOU will be ever in my heart I learned from you what every man should strive to be and hope to see you again on the other side.

When I moved here in 2019 I was desperate to find a Dr. Someone to help me get my mental health under control. He was the only one willing to see me. He had quite a unique sense of humor that always hit me later. He was a kind person, and always seemed to believe in me. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone with this man's help. I'm sad I never got the opportunity to thank him. My condolences to the family. Know that he meant something to many. You don't grieve alone.

Dr. Whitson has been my doctor since I moved to the Tri-Cities at 3 years old in 1994. He was funny, smart, otherworldly and quite kooky. I never expected him to be gone so soon and I’m so grateful I was able to see him a few months before his passing.
Like others have mentioned, Whitson made me believe I had self worth and he was one of my biggest fans.
I’ll miss him so much and it’s obvious he had such an impact on his other patients too. Wonderful, wonderful guy.
Lots of love.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Whitson’s children, grandchildren and sisters. He was my doctor for the past 26 years and I came to look to him as a friend. I will never forget his intelligence, his kindness, his compassion, and his unique sense of humor. Dr. Whitson was everything you could want in a doctor and so much more. He took the time to know his patients as real people. I took my son to see Dr. Whitson a few years ago when he had outgrown seeing his pediatrician. My son was amazed at how much the doctor knew and remembered about our family - details of vacations, Boy Scout adventures and stories shared over the decades. I feel extremely lucky to have has Dr. Whitson on my side for so many years. I will miss him. Rest in peace Robert Whitson.

Dr. Whitson was my mother's doctor, and when my doctor fired me for being a bad diabetic, my mom recommended Dr. Whitson to me. He told me that he would never quit me, no matter how bad of a diabetic I was. He was one of my biggest supporters. He once offered to be my agent when and if I ever took my talent to Hollywood because he thought I had what it took to become famous. LOL!!! :) I loved this man. He is a wonderful human being. I will miss his presence here on earth. My prayers for strength and comfort during this sad time go out to his family. Gone but never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

Dr. Whitson was my primary care physician for nearly 25 years. He provided excellent medical support, and really cared about me as a person. His compassion, his willingness to discuss medical options, and his general outlook on life were much appreciated by my husband and I, and we will sincerely miss him.

We will miss your common sense, humor, and calm and caring spirit. The intelligent conversation, sweet smile and direct eye contact. Twenty five years is a long time, every visit we enjoyed in one way or another. Your comfy couches, good music and plenty of reading material made that waiting room so cozy. We will miss you so much Robert, nobody will do it better.

Dr. Whitson was my primary care physician and friend for 11 years. He always took the time to listen and advise. He not only saved my life once, but twice, but that's what hero's do. I will my visits and the conversations, sometimes hilarious and crazy that we shared. He had true compassion, and truly loved what he did. My condolences go out to not only his children and family, but also his office staff. Fly high and my friend, you will be greatly missed.

Dr. Whitson was my doctor for over 20 years. I feel lucky that I had such a great doctor and friend for that long. He was my real life super hero, he always made me feel safe and well cared for. I enjoyed going to see him and miss him so much already. I trusted this man with my life, and could tell him anything. He made me laugh through my tears many times. My sincerest condolences to his family and staff during this difficult time, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart is so sad. I loved Dr. Whitson. Myself and my children have been seeing him for 27 years. The first time I met him I said, "Hi." And he said, "I am NOT." His humor won me over and I have felt like he was very much a part of our family as he knew our history so well. Even when my oldest left for the Air Force he always asked me about him when I saw him. I will miss the brown leather couches and gentle guitar music that used to play in the waiting room. He had soo many books and so much knowledge, we talked about many things. I knew alot about his life too as he shared personal stories and made you feel so warm and welcome. Sometimes I would get really frustrated with him, and I would tell him so. He took it in stride and always took the time to understand my frustrations. I have many fond memories of him and am so, so sad. I loved the person who shared the picture of Dr Whitson in his biking gear at the end of the day. I would see him on his bike and always chuckle. That picture warmed my heart. He was so quirky, smart, funny and warm. My heart is torn up. :-( He was more special than most and I will never find another Dr like him, nor know another person such as Dr Robert Whitson. Sleep well my friend, and thank you for sharing so much of yourself over the years. You enriched my life in so many ways. Much love to you and condolences to his family, know he was much loved!

After reading the memories from Roberts patients, I realized this is a tragedy not only for Roberts immediate family but also for his any friends and patients! We all need to hold onto our memories to keep him in our lives. When we were growing up, we were Navy brats and often only had each other for our play time. When we used an old mattress for our ship, Robert was always the captain and kept us safe from the unknown. It sounds like his formative years served him well. May God grant all who loved and knew him peace.

I am still in shock! My heart is deeply saddened. When my husband told me this news, I did not believe him. Dr. Whitson was so vivacious, he brought energy to every space he entered. I think he was the smartest person I have ever known, at the same time he had more common sense than the likes of many! He was quite frankly an amazing human being. He could talk about anything and he was quick to laugh. But what I admired and respected most about him was his compassion. He listened respectfully, was never condescending, and would not stop short of a finding the best possible solution. I can't begin to imagine the loss his family and staff must feel. My heart and prayers go out to them. I will miss this great man terribly. One day Higher Power will bring us together again to walk the Red Road. Until then my friend.

Dr. Whitson cared so much about each of his patients. He was downright honest, hilarious, and caring. My parents discovered his practice in the mid 2000’s and he provided my whole family with reassurance and support through every illness for years. He cared about how we felt, what our goals were, and was always quick with a joke or a short story to keep our minds off of any scary situation. He was an all around amazing doctor who will be missed and spoken about during family get-togethers for many years to come. Our hearts reach out to his family in such a difficult time. His memory lives on in all of us, all of the lives he has touched.

I was shocked and saddened to see Dr. Whitson's obituary in the newspaper today. I don't think I've met another physician quite like him - always welcoming, thorough explanations, always taking the time to make sure all my questions were addressed, and that dry humor. Like so many of his other patients, I will miss him very much. My condolences to his family and to his staff.

He was my Physician off and on since 2001.

I called today to make an appointment when I first heard of Dr. Whitson's passing. It took the breath out of me. I met Dr. Whitson when his first practice was with Randy West in Richland. He became mine and my wife's doctor shortly thereafter. What a kind, funny and likable person he was and will always be remembered by us as a genuinely caring man, who cared deeply about his practice and those he cared for so well. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and wonderful staff. I will truly miss his joking manner. He always put a smile on our faces, no matter how we felt.

May you have a safe trip home. Will truly miss you

Chocolate coins, Baskin Robbins, and a playful spirit. My children would always get excited to go with me when I had a Dr. Whitson visit. A true gentle giant. There is a hole in my heart as I try to comprehend that there will no longer be those times I looked forward to, in visiting with my uniquely, genuine relationshiop with my friend and Dr. Visits always consisted of: playful banter, many laughs, family, work, politics, and anything else. Grateful to him for always providing me with encouragement in accomplishing my dreams of getting a college education and to continue my passion for plants. But most importantly, I will miss his compassionate nature.

Dr Whitson has been my family's doctor for over ten years. We were saddened to learn of his passing. He was always sweet to my kids. My husband and I would always go to him when we were needing answers because if he didn't know how to answer those medical questions himself he would research things and figure out where to go from there. He really listened to his patients and his staff were always nice. He will not only be greatly missed by my family but by many people in the community.

Dr. Whitson had been my family doctor for many years. One of his most important qualities, I believe, is that he listened and did not treat the patient as an uninformed participant. I am not unacquainted with medical terminology and the workings of the human body, but when I didn't quite understand, he drew pictures on the exam table. His manner was easy and relaxed. He used to tease me about being so much older than I, which was only a couple of years actually. He was a special character and a good doctor.

Robert has been my doctor for as long as I can remember and the only one I was ever excited to see. He was so funny and kind and always wished the best for me. It is truly heartbreaking to hear this news and I really can't believe it... I wish I wasn't in a hurry the last time I saw you.. I wish I would've chatted a bit longer.. I will miss you dearly and I know my family will too.. you took care of us all. We send our condolences and best wishes to his family such a hard time to lose a loved one especially a father... he was a very good man as you already know and he has changed a lot of lives and kept me on track...

How sad I am today to hear that Doc Whitson is gone. He was a great Doctor, a great person, and did so much for so many. I will truly miss him. His knowledge and dedication were inspirational. I am proud to have known him and will miss seeing him at the coffee shop. He had a way of making you feel like you were his most important patient and always gave you the straight story. My condolences to his staff and to his family, may God comfort you all in this difficult time.

To the family of Robert Whitson, I am sure you already know that he was a very special man. As everyone else has already stated he was more than just our doctor, he helped us through so many situations over our years with him. He treated us as family not as patients. He explained everything no matter what it was. He was our doctor, lawyer, travel guide, philosopher, confidant, and mostly our friend. He listened to us. He told us about his children and his travels. No doctor has ever come as close as he has to being a part of our own family. He always smiled and made us comfortable. He was human. He wasn’t any better than anyone else. Good lord we miss him already. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through these difficult times. Rest In Peace doc.

Perhaps one day we will see each other on a mountain top somewhere as we always talked about. Rest in peace my friend!

Totally agree with Debbie. He was one of a kind. I already miss him terribly. He was our family doctor for about 20 years. We were just reminiscing about how he always grabbed a pen and paper and made a drawing of whatever your issue was at the time so you could understand it better. So patient with kids and adults alike! My condolences to his family and office staff. They must be lost without him. May he rest in peace.

It is truly heartbreaking to learn of this news. Dr. Whitson was the most intelligent, kind, caring, professional and humorous doctor I have ever had. His staff were just as kind and real. He always took his time and looked you in the eye to both talk and listen to you. He always had something to make you smile or laugh while you were at your appointment. No one will ever be able to replace him. He practiced common sense and practical medicine/solutions (in a day where, sadly, common sense is no longer that common). My condolences to his children, sweet staff and friends. Kelly Thompson
