Johnny Whitiker Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Johnny was quiet and laid back - but don't let that fool you. He had a sneaky side, the kind that made you laugh later once you realized he'd pulled one over on you. If you took your eyes off him for too long, chances are he already had them in his pocket.
He loved his music. When a good song came on, you could catch him singing along - and if the beat hit just right, he'd even break into a little dance. But Johnny's true passions were simple and pure: eating and sleeping. And if you knew Johnny, you knew he never turned down a cold soda pop.
One thing about him - don't touch his stuff. That was a quick way to see that quiet side turn serious! But underneath that was a man full of life, humor, and his own rhythm.
Johnny will be truly missed and forever loved by his family, his extended family, and all who were lucky enough to experience him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Willie Sr. and Vera Lee Whitiker; three sisters, Rosie Lee Whitiker, Willie B. Whitiker, and Linda Fay Whitiker; and two brothers, Odester Whitiker and Tonnie Whitiker.
Those left to cherish his precious memory are his five brothers - Julian (Pauline) Whitiker, Willie Whitiker Jr., and Reverend Lee R. Whitiker, all of Pine Bluff, Arkansas; Leander (Lue Ann) Whitiker of West Memphis, Arkansas; and Clem A. Whitiker of Gould, Arkansas. He also leaves behind two sisters - Lonzetta (Lester) Price and Yuarly (Kevin) Pryor - along with a host of nieces, nephews, and other relatives who will continue to carry his spirit forward.
Funeral Service will be held 11:00 a.m. Thursday, October 23, 2025, at Brown Funeral Home Pine Bluff, AR by Rev. Lee Whitiker. Interment in Bright Star Cemetery Tarry, AR by Brown Funeral Home of Pine Bluff, AR.
