Mike Whitmire
March 5, 1945 - August 24, 2012
Mike Whitmire, 67, of Strawberry, died Friday, August 24, 2012 at White River Medical Center.
Born on Monday, March 5, 1945 in Dowdy, Arkansas, he was the son of V. H. Whitmire and Velma (Long) Whitmire. He was a self-employed farmer and welder taking pride in the many special use trailers her built. On the farm, he looked forward every year to hay cutting time. He was a generous, warm, and caring person who enjoyed laughing and finding humor in things. A confident person, he had a great influence on a lot of people. The most important people in his life were his family, especially his grandchildren. He liked to spend every minute of every day with his grandchildren; and singing with them was one of his favorite things to do. He would even draw and write poems about each one of them. He was a member of the Strawberry Church of Christ and would read and study his Bible daily.
Survivors include his wife, Ruth (Hugg) Whitmire of the home; two sons, Scott Whitmire and his wife, Nancy of Strawberry, Craig Whitmire and his wife Rena, also of Strawberry; five grandchildren: Jessica, Caitlin, Madalyn, Aaron and Caleb Whitmire; a brother, Ronald Whitmire of Strawberry; a special sister, Patsy Grissom also of Strawberry, and two brothers-in-law: Mike Mason and Doug Bennett.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and two sisters: Mary Jean Bennett and Beverly Mason.
