6/20/2025: from Warren Guffin (406-544-7062), Missoula, Montana. Baylor class of 1970. I just learned of David's passing and wanted to express my sadness with the news and share some memories. My name is Warren Guffin and I live in Montana. However, once upon a time I lived for my first semester in Penland dorm at Baylor as a freshman and had a roommate named David Whigham, also a freshman. He had a good smile & attitude, but I rarely saw him because of his fascination with a young lady whom I believe I met once. We lost touch the second semester and thereafter, but I never forgot his smile and energy! I have lived in Montana for the last 49 years but will always remember my first Baylor roomie, and am saddened to learn the news. I hope to greet him on the other side! Warren Guffin

Mr. Whigham was my mentor during my first year teaching. He was very patient with me and deeply cared about my success as a future teacher. His encouragement and guidance helped me tremendously during a difficult time when I was ready to give up. Almost ten years later I am still in the education profession and I owe my success to David. He was a great and caring man. I am forever thankful he was my mentor. My sincerest condolences to the family.

I only worked with David a short time at Region 18 ESC, but during that time I knew he was a man that loved God, his family, and valued his friends. I am sure he will be missed by all. He was one of those people that you are fortunate in life to meet. I am praying for comfort for his family.
