Joshua James Whiting, Jr. affectionately known as "Jimmy" was born on April 19, 1940, to Joshua and Dorothy Keaton Whiting in Trenton, NJ. He departed this earthly realm on July 6, 2025, surrounded by family.
Jimmy was educated in the Robbinsville/Allentown school system. He was employed by Acme Hamilton before they closed and later worked for Atlantic Express as a bus driver.
Jimmy married Christine Mainor, and from that union they had a son, Jeffrey.
He was baptized at a young age at the Robbinsville First Baptist Church. He enjoyed listening to the old gospel singers like the 5 Blind Boys of Alabama, Swanee Quintet, and Nightingales.
Jimmy was predeceased by his parents, Joshua and Dorothy Whiting; his wife, Christine Mainor Whiting; his son, Jeffrey Whiting; and his sister, Sara Kent.
He leaves to cherish his memories: two sisters, Evelyn Gorden and Brenda Floyd; a brother-in-law, Samuel Floyd; a brother, Donald Whiting; a very close friend, Madelyn McKinney; grandchildren, Alexis, Tyler, and Jeffrey Whiting, Jr.; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
