Joseph Leroy Whiteman

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle passed unexpectedly from his earthly home. We miss his caring spirit and joking personality. His joys were biking, running, dancing, martial arts, music and James Bond movies. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. Joe enjoyed entertaining his family and friends wherever he went. He adored and cared for his wife and deeply loved his son Joshua, and his wife Lindsey and his beautiful grandchildren, Karlee, Alek, Mikayla and Kody.

His life began in Cheyenne, Wyoming born to Albert and Edna Whiteman. Married for 36 years to his loving wife Marti. Affectionally known to his family as “Joey,” "uncle Joko" and “Jojo.” His brothers Albert and Gary have gone before him along with his father Albert Sr. and Bill.

He also leaves behind his sister Darlene and brother Charles. His joyful personality leaves a big void in our hearts and he is deeply missed.
