JEFFERY WAYNE WHITAKER
Jeffery Wayne Whitaker, age 61, of Metamora, passed away on August 15, 2023, after a sudden illness. His loving family stood by his side during his passing.
Jeff was born to Wendell Whitaker and Marjorie Carriger on January 5, 1962, in Cincinnati. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Natalie; three children: Edward (Yujie) Whitaker, Rebecca (Jamie) Baxter, Patrick (Jillian) Whitaker, and two grandchildren: Eden and Orion. He had seven siblings: Andrew, John, Debra, Tina, Peggy, Kim, and Ralph.
Jeff was a graduate of Wesleyan University and worked as a factory supervisor at a series of Tri-State area companies for more than 25 years. His passions included spending time with family, drumming for the worship teams at Church, and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Visitation is Thursday August 17, 2023, at The Metamora Church of God in Metamora, from 3-6 PM, followed by a service at 6 PM. The family is encouraging Bengals fans to wear their Bengals clothing in support of his lifelong affection for the team, if they feel so obliged, during visitation and service.
Natalie I am so so sorry to hear of this sad news. I am lost for words. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this time of sorrow 🙏🏻
