Cary Whitehead Obituary

Whitehead, Cary Sam
September 10, 1977 - October 21, 2025
Cary Sam Whitehead, a beloved father, fiancé, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away tragically on October 21, 2025, at the age of 48, following a one-wheel accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Born in 1977, Cary's warm spirit, kind soul, and adventurous nature left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Cary was a devoted father to his three sons, Josiah, Dawson, and Levi, and a cherished partner to his fiancé, Brandy.
An avid outdoorsman, Cary found immense joy in the simple beauty of nature. He particularly loved the winter months, spending countless hours snowboarding and sharing his passion by teaching winter sports to others. His connection to the outdoors was matched only by his creativity; he was a talented craftsman and artist whose unique work reflected his perspective on life.
Known for his natural ability to make anyone feel welcome and his infectious enthusiasm, Cary was a great father, friend, snowboarder, dancer, uncle, and brother. He had a kind soul, and anyone lucky enough to have met him was forever blessed to have called him a friend.
Cary was preceded in death by his loving parents, Marilynn and Steve.
He is survived by his three sons, Josiah, Dawson, and Levi; his fiancé, Brandy, and her daughter, Triana; his brother, Ty, and his wife, Jennifer; his nieces and nephew, Makayla, Karlee, and Ezra; as well as many aunts, uncles, and dear friends.
Cary will be dearly missed and always remembered for his joy, his kind heart, and the deep love he held for his family and friends. His legacy lives on through the memories created and the lives he touched.
