Gregory Whitten Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Goes Funeral Care & Crematory - Fort Collins on Mar. 26, 2024.
In beautiful loving memory of Gregory James Whitten, 46, of Ft.Collins, who passed away on March 9, 2024. It is an understatement to say Greg will be missed. He will bless us and live on through our hearts, thoughts and memories forever.
Greg was a remarkable athlete whose passion for sports ignited a flame in all who knew him. From his days on the football and wrestling teams at TVHS to his Collegiate rugby career at Western State University, Greg's athleticism was matched only by his dedication and pride in his pursuits. As a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Chapter at Colorado State University, he found brotherhood and camaraderie that enriched his life.
Beyond the realm of sports, Greg's love for adventure and the outdoors was profound. An avid boater, water skier, wakeboarder, and wakesurfer, he found his greatest joy on the serene waters of Lake McConaughy. His love for hunting, fishing, and camping further attested to his deep connection with nature. Yet, above all, Greg cherished his role as a loving and dedicated father to his beloved son, Maxwell.
Professionally, after graduating from Colorado State University, Greg's journey was illustrious marked by his success at Gallo Wines and Fortune 100 companies including Pfizer. However, it was his role as an advocate for senior living at Morning Star Ft.Collins that truly showcased his skills of ultimate compassion. For nearly six years, he served as the Director of Community Relations, touching the lives of many with his warmth and kindness.
Greg's commitment to his community extended beyond the professional realm. He devoted himself to coaching youth sports, particularly football, instilling values of teamwork and determination in the next generation.
Greg is survived by his loving father, Larry Whitten, of Ft. Collins; his devoted mother, JoAnn Bigner, of Loveland; his adoring sister, Kiffany Whitten, of Denver; and his cherished son, Maxwell James Whitten, of Fort Collins. Their loss is immeasurable, and Greg's absence leaves a void that can never be filled. Though he may no longer walk beside us, his presence will forever illuminate our lives. Rest in peace, Dearest Greg, knowing you are deeply loved and profoundly missed.
A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at Block One in Fort Collins, all are welcome to attend. Please contact for details

Greg, you always made me feel like I was a big part of your team. Although I was the Chef for most of my tenure, we worked like a well oiled machine together. I would sit with you and potential residents and together we would WOW their families and friends. You were really amazing at your profession. You were able to connect with people like no other my brother. Rest in peace. You will be missed my friend. God speed...

Greg was a student in my 5th grade class at Carrie Martin Elementary in the late 1980s. I remember his infectious smile and his interest in sports. I later recognized him when delivering medications to Morning Star in Ft. Collins. We had a nice conversation. My deepest condolences to the family. I´m so sorry for your loss.
