Throughout his illnesses, he always maintained a positive attitude and his signature sense of humor. He was born at home, April 3, 1943, on the family farm and lived his entire life in the Battle Ground, WA area. He was the youngest and only son of five children born to Garold L. Whitney and Elizabeth Brown Whitney. He graduated from Battle Ground High School in 1961. In December 1963, he married his high school sweetheart, Susie Wilson. During the 51 years they were married, they had four children. Gary was a skilled and hard worker. Some of his occupations included logging, construction, and working for Grover Electric. In 1972, he started his own electrical contracting company, Whitney Electric, which he successfully ran for 25 years. Gary had many gifts. He had a quick wit and could tell a joke with impeccable timing. He was also athletic and enjoyed golf, slow-pitch, basketball, bowling and horseshoes. He loved board games, cards and anything competitive. But his greatest passion was his love for the Green Bay Packers which he passed on to his children and grandchildren. He was a talented builder. He built many houses over the years, including the home he raised his family in. He could write poetry and was a great storyteller. Other loves of his life included being outdoors, going to tool sales and flea markets, a good steak dinner, campfires, beach trips, fireworks and any activity that involved time with his family. Gary is survived by his wife, Sue; his daughters, Heidi (Jim) Hobson and Amy (Mike) Buma of Battle Ground, Kathryn (Doug) Denney of La Center; and his son, Grant (Amy) Whitney of Battle Ground. He is also survived by three sisters, Betty Sullivan and Doris Brooks of Battle Ground, and Jan Pettit of La Center. His legacy will live on in his beloved grandchildren who he lovingly referred to as "The Naughties", Emily, Bradley, Lydia, Veronica, Ashley, Calvin, Rachel, Justine, Charlotte, Adam and Joel. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Joyce Smith; brothers-in-law, Ed Sullivan, Howard Brooks, Rich Pettit and Steve Smith; and nephews, Dennis Sullivan and Tim Pettit.
