David Fennell Obituary
David "Whitey" Fennell, age 86, passed away on July 14, 2025. David was born in Butler, PA, on February 10, 1939, to parents, Glenford and Dorothy (Porter) Fennell.
After graduation from High School, Whitey proudly served his country in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. After serving in the Air Force for eight years, he worked as a truck and delivery driver, most recently driving for the Toledo Blade for 29 years.
More than any of his accomplishments, Whitey loved his family dearly. He was always there for those he loved and never asked for anything in return. Whitey, along with his wife, Rose, shared their love for family with others, opening up their home to many foster children over the years.
Whitey was preceded in death by his parents; and his wife, Rose (Gee) Fennell. He is survived by his children, David Fennell, Jr., and Debbie Fennell; six grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.
