Roy WHITFIELD Obituary
Roy Whitfield passed peacefully in the early morning of March 13, 2025, at the age of 73, after a long goodbye with dementia. He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, cherished by his son, Ken (Amanda); daughter, Jocelyn (John); his beloved grandchildren, Lindy, Leona, Joe, and Jackson; and great-grandchildren, Brodee and Pheobe.
A proud Vietnam Veteran, Roy served his country with honor. After his time in the Army, he pursued his passion for baking, earning an associate degree and dedicating his career to the craft. Beyond his work, Roy was an artist at heart, creating intricate intarsia woodwork that was recognized at shows and featured in magazines.
Roy was an everyday hero-generous, selfless, and always willing to lend a hand to those in need. He understood that the smallest acts of kindness could leave the deepest impact. Even when transitioning into memory care, he continued his legacy of giving by donating his belongings to support fellow Veterans.
He embraced life fully, filling his days with laughter, lifelong friendships, and happiness. His warmth and generosity will live on in the many hearts he touched.
A celebration of life and memorial service will be held at The Intersection Church, 905 N. McDonald, Spokane Valley, on May 10, at 11am, with a casual reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations in Roy's name may be made to Newby-ginnings of North Idaho, continuing his mission of helping Veterans in need.

Roy was a dear friend of my husband and I. He was so kind. He gave me quilts from his dear wife and a quilt rack he made. Sorry we are unable to attend his funeral; we have a family situation in Montana. We have very special memories of Roy. Glen and Janet
