Heath H. Whittamore's Obituary
WHITTAMORE, Heath H., age 38, of Wilmington and formerly of Waynesville, passed away Tuesday, July 7, 2020.
Heath graduated from Waynesville High School in 2000. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Arts and Marketing from Wilmington College in 2004. After graduating from Wilmington College, he went to work for the college in the IT department. For the past 15 years, he thoroughly enjoyed his job, all his co-workers, and the students.
Funny, kind, caring, and patient, Heath had a quirky sense of humor and was very good to his family. While he was known as “Uncle Boo” by his niece, Sam, he had a language with his brother that was unique between the two. He was always there for his nieces and nephews, and especially enjoyed practicing his photography skills at their events. He was an avid sports fan, especially of his beloved NC and UD basketball teams and the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals. He always maintained his loyalty to his hometown Waynesville Spartans in soccer and tennis, where he lettered all four years in tennis. Among many things, he will be remembered for his love of 60’s and 70’s music and sci-fi and fantasy literature.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Robert and Irma Meredith and Ruth Whittamore. He is survived by his parents Harrison and Karen Whittamore; one sister Heidi (Tim) Miltenberger; brother Nathaniel (Melissa) Whittamore; and six nieces and nephews Lukas and Liam Whittamore, Samantha, Ian, Ellie, and Josie Miltenberger.
A celebration of life service honoring Heath will be held 10 AM Friday, August 7 at the carillon on the campus of Wilmington College. This celebration of Heath's life will be held outdoors and your are encouraged to bring your own lawn chair, if you wish. Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville is serving the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Heath’s memory to Wilmington College, Office of Advancement, 1870 Quaker Way, Wilmington, OH 45177. Condolences at www.stubbsconner.com.
