David C Whitney aka The Viking Chief fought valiantly against cancer for many years, emerging victorious numerous times. However, this time, he left us with heavy hearts.

Pop touched countless lives, leaving behind memories that will be cherished forever. His influence was profound, shaping childhoods and leaving a lasting mark on those he encountered.

Many have generously offered their support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers or other gestures, as David didn’t have life insurance due to pre-existing conditions, contributions towards his headstone and final arrangements would be deeply appreciated. Your kindness will help ensure that his memory is honored in a meaningful way. Thank you for considering this tribute to the impact he had on all our lives.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Whitney Family
