Crockett Wayne Whitmire

Crockett was a man of song, laughter, kindness. He would do anything for anybody. Working with Crockett in Buna and Pineland I was able to watch, listen, and learn from his immense character for others. Crockett’s family and friends will be in my prayers to help get through such a sorrowing time.

Kai and girls,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious husband/daddy. Though I only met him once, I felt like I knew him well from all of your stories, Kai. It was always apparent to me that the two of you were as in love as the two kids that met at the lake so many years ago. You have lots of wonderful memories though I know you feel lost now. Praise Jesus, Crockett is with him in heaven today. I am lifting your family up in prayer and ask for comfort for you and your girls.

Going to really miss this guy! Worked with Crockett for over 20 years, seen lots of good times on and off the job,Crockett loved his family and friends very much!

I got to work for a short time with Crockett, but I know he had a big heart. He was for sure a good Christian man. I will miss our conversations about deer hunting and sawmilling. My prayers go out to all his family members.

It has been an honor to call him our friend. We are so very thankful that we got to spend time with him Sunday evening to hear his wonderful wisdom, lovable laugh, and see his unforgettable smile one last time. We love you guys and will ALWAYS be here for you.

Dear kai, Kristen, Kaitlin, and Kari:

Although it has been several years since I have seen you all I wanted to reach out to you and to let you know how very sorry I am to learn about Crockett's passing. Such a sweet man taken too soon from his beautiful, loving family and friends. I have such warm memories of all of you and will always remember fondly the times that I spent at your house, not only as the girls' babysitter but also as a welcomed guest. You guys always made me feel at home! I know your hearts are broken and I wish I could be there physically to help ease your pain but please know that I am with you in thoughts and prayers. If you need anything at all please don't hesitate to call on me. Hold tight to those precious memories of the wonderful time shared with him and those memories will help you to smile through your tears. Place everything in God's hands and He will give you peace and comfort. Sending love and hugs to you all!

I will miss you always, and my heart will ache forever. I love you!

We are so very sorry your loss. Eric worked with Crockett in Buna at Temple. He was very close to him and considered him a true friend. We visited your church a few years back and saw Crockett and your youngest daughter sing a song together. I think of that and I know how much he loved his family. Heaven just got a little sweeter with one of there angels coming home. May God Bless you and your family. Eric, Jeannie and Leah Howell.
