Whitehurst, 64, of Berne, Indiana went to be with his Savior Monday, May 22, 2023, doing what he loved to do, working in his yard on a beautiful morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff was born to Frederick and Mary (Habegger) Whitehurst on July 25, 1958, in Decatur, Indiana. He was united in marriage to Kathleen O\u2019Dell on September 30, 1978.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff retired in 2020 from Micromatic in Berne following 36 years of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He deeply appreciated all things nature and felt closest to God sitting quietly in the woods, taking it all in. He was an avid hunter, taught from a very young age by his father and grandfather, Leonard \u201cBoone\u201d Whitehurst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While he greatly enjoyed hunting, he was just as happy studying how and where the trees and plants grew, and the habits of the animals. He also loved creating a beautiful yard, moving by hand thousands of rocks and loads of dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff is survived by his wife of 44 years, Kathleen Whitehurst of Berne, Indiana; son, Clint (Cheryn) Whitehurst of Woodburn, Indiana; daughter, Kristen (Jeremy) Reynolds of Decatur, Indiana; parents, Frederick and Mary Whitehurst of Berne, Indiana; brother, Brent Whitehurst of Berne, Indiana; sister, Marsha (Ken) Sonnentag-Groh of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and five grandchildren, Dillion Whitehurst, Evan Whitehurst, Noah Reynolds, Darla Reynolds, and Matthew Reynolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A casual gathering of friends and family will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Friday, May 26, 2023, at the Zwick &amp; Jahn Funeral Home, Yager-Kirchhofer Chapel in Berne, Indiana with desserts being served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Private family burial will take place at M.R.E. Cemetery in Berne, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preferred memorials can be given to the Donor\u2019s Choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(July 25, 1958 &#8211; May 22, 2023) Jeffrey S.
