Roy Harold Whitfield

August 18, 1951 — March 13, 2025

Roy Whitfield passed peacefully in the early morning of March 13, 2025, at the age of 73, after
a long goodbye with dementia. He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, cherished by his
son Ken (Amanda), daughter Jocelyn (John), his beloved grandchildren Lindy, Leona, Joe, and
Jackson and great-grandchildren Brodee and Pheobe.
A proud Vietnam Veteran, Roy served his country with honor. After his time in the Army, he
pursued his passion for baking, earning an associate degree and dedicating his career to the
craft. Beyond his work, Roy was an artist at heart, creating intricate intarsia woodwork that was
recognized at shows and featured in magazines.
Roy was an everyday hero—generous, selfless, and always willing to lend a hand to those in
need. He understood that the smallest acts of kindness could leave the deepest impact. Even
when transitioning into memory care, he continued his legacy of giving by donating his
belongings to support fellow Veterans.
He embraced life fully, filling his days with laughter, lifelong friendships, and happiness. His
warmth and generosity will live on in the many hearts he touched.
A celebration of life and memorial service will be held at The Intersection Church, 905 N
McDonald, Spokane Valley, on May 10th at 11am, with a casual reception to follow. In lieu of
flowers, donations in Roy’s name may be made to Newby-ginnings of North Idaho, continuing
his mission of helping Veterans in need.
