William Eddie Whiten, Sr., 74, of Townville, SC, went home to be with the Lord on January 15, 2018 and joined his loving wife of 57 years, Kathryn, who passed away November 2, 2017.

He also served proudly in the United States Army, and loved his country. He especially loved sharing his love of camping, hunting and fishing with his children, grandchildren and friends.
He is survived by his children, Denise Whiten Gibbs (Joe) of Burnsville, NC, Penny Whiten Evitt (Glenn) of Easley, SC, Eddie Whiten, Jr. of Anderson , SC and Robin Whiten Holliday (Chuck) of Easley, SC; his grandchildren, Symatha Gibbs Hughes (Tyler), Leigh Gibbs Suico (Gerard), Hunter Spear Holliday, Jacob Robert Whiten (Ashley), Ryker Forrest Holliday, Jarrad Amon Whiten, Chloe Isabella Holliday and Leanna and Remington Bearden; his great grandchildren, Piper Leigh Hughes,
