With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Whitney Carnahan of Battle Creek, Michigan, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Whitney left this world on December 16, 2025 at the age of 93, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though Whitney may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Whitney touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Thomas Carnahan and Clara Carnahan (Peg); his wife Shirley (Etheridge); his daughters, Karen and Lynda; and his sister Patsy.
