Michael Jack Whaley

Michael Jack Whaley, age 62 of Kodak, passed away peacefully at his home with his girls by his side on Sunday, March 23, 2025.

He was a loving and devoted husband, father, pappaw, son, brother, and friend; and was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was a devoted member of The Crossing Church, where he played with the worship team. He recently retired from Blalock & Sons, where he worked for many years. Before that, he had worked for over 20 years at Cherokee Textiles. He enjoyed spending time with his grandbabies the most; but also enjoyed woodworking, hunting, fishing, and camping with those he loved.

He is preceded in death by his loving wife of 37 years, Joyce M. Whaley; and his father, Jack E. Whaley of Kodak. He is survived by his two daughters, Amanda (Nick) Huskey & Jacklyn Whaley (Andrew); grandchildren, Gage, Collin, Alexis "Lexi Jo", Jackson, Parker, & Preston; his mother, Patricia Gene Whaley; sister, Janie Lynn (Bill) Lane; brother, Jamie Von (Jennifer) Whaley; and brother-in-law, John Comley. He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews; his loving girlfriend, Amy Loyd, and her family.

Lovingly missed by all, his family takes comfort in knowing he will be building a house for them in Heaven.
