Scott Whatley Obituary

Scott "Grey Fox" Whatley was born in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in Double Springs, AL to the late Roy and Lola Whatley. Scott has been a resident of Jay, FL, for over 60 years.

Scott was an airman of the United States Air Force. He was a Korean War Veteran and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal.

After his honorable discharge, Scott was in the tire business for over 20 years, where he operated Big 10 Tires of Milton, FL, for 16 years. Scott was a deputy with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff Department, where he was a resource officer at Jay High School for 10 years.

Scott also was an ordained minister of the Pentecostal Faith. He loved his Pastor, Bobby Carnley, and church family of Ebenezer Church in Jay, Florida. His favorite Bible verse is John 3:16, and because Scott accepted Jesus and Jesus' great sacrifice of dying for each and every one of us, Scott is now in the presence of His savior. To know Scott is to love him. He shared the agape' love of Christ every day. He invited everyone to know our Heavenly Father and get their names written in the Lambs Book of Life so we can have a reunion with our loved ones that are waiting for us.

Funeral was held at Trahan Family Funeral Home of Milton on Wednesday, October 1, 2025 at 1:00 p.m., with Rev. Bobby Carnley officiating.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Ebenezer Church Youth Ministry, 4200 Ebenezer Church Rd, Jay, FL 32565.
