David Wayne Whitley

David Wayne Whitley, 68, passed away Sunday May 1, 2022 at Atrium Health Cabarrus in Concord. David was born December 21, 1953 in Albemarle, North Carolina. The son of the late Vernon Lee Whitley and Peggy Jean Burris Whitley, David was the youngest of three brothers. He graduated from West Stanly High School, Class of 1972.

David built many lifetime friendships through his career and enjoyed helping others with household projects. He spent his free time in his younger years coaching his son’s baseball teams, gardening, playing cards and loved any outdoor activities. David was happiest when he was at the beach fishing, or in the woods hunting with his friends from the hunt club, and being anywhere else with his beloved dogs, Lucky and Lacy.
