ZEBULON – Mark Henderson Whitley, 67, loving husband and father and a son of God, passed on from this life in his home in the presence of his family on February 6, 2024. He was born in Wake County to the late Henderson Uriah & Mildred Hagwood Whitley. Mark knew his way around Hondas and under the hood, as he was a knowledgeable mechanic. Mark was also a deacon at his church, where he was known for his amazing voice. He blessed many, taught willingly, spreading the gospel with each chance he could get. Although his time here was short, he left a long lasting impact on all that he had the pleasure of knowing. Mark will be missed, was deeply loved and will never be forgotten.

Being able to witness Marks Life weekly at church was such a wonderful time because I knew where he had come from in his trials and tribulations and watched him suffer at times as well as grow into one of God's Special People. My most memorable moment was when he sang for us at my late husbands funeral back in August , 2006. It took me years of my life to try to listen to that song again. Then back in early February of 2022, he was so gracious to sing that song for me again and I had my two girls there with me to listen to something that had been so hard to hears all those years on the radio. It truly was a breathtaking moment with happy tears of joy and memories to last a lifetime. You will be forever missed Mark. You just keep on singing as we know your with us everyday.

I enjoyed singing in the church choir when Mark was our choir director. He was a very dependable and productive church member and had a wonderful singing talent. Evelyn Pate
