July 10, 1951 – May 2, 2014
Patrick Dennis Whitney, 62, of Sweet Home died at home May 2, 2014 from complications of multiple sclerosis.
He was born July 10, 1951 in Lebanon to Pleasant Merrill Jr. and Lorene (Clester) Whitney. Mr. Whitney loved the outdoors and his happiest times were spent hunting, fishing or just roaming the woods near his home in the company of his best friends, Keisha and Tess – his dogs.
He is survived by his daughters, Kate and Sarah Whitney; sisters Merrill and brother-in-law Frank Gallagher of Sweet Home, and Bunni and brother-in-law Gene Lynn of Falls City; and brother Michael and sister-in-law Kathleen Whitney of Eugene, and brother Lonnie and sister-in-law Shawn Clester of Portland.
Mr. Whitney was preceded in death by his parents; stepfather Charles Clester; and his beloved dogs Keisha and Tess.
A private family service will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions can be made in his name to the Oregon Humane Society.
Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
