RICK WHITTON, of Lethbridge, beloved husband and best friend of 32 years of Darlene Whitton, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital, on Tuesday, March 12, 2024 at the age of 67 years.

Besides his loving wife, Rick is survived by his daughter, Shannon Foote (Shane); granddaughter, Raeanna Kenyon (Quinn); great-granddaughters, Sage and Indie; and grandsons, Rhys and Aidan Foote. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Larry Sera (Shirley) and families. Rick was one of 14 siblings and is survived by his twin brother, Randy; sister, Kate and brother, Phillip, as well as the remainder of his living siblings who are dearly loved.

Rick was predeceased by his parents, Norman and Thelma Whitton, his in-laws, Frank and Margrette Sera and his lifelong fur buddy Messy Macy.

Rick worked at Kawneer as a Fabricator for 35 years, a job that he thoroughly enjoyed and where he made many lifelong friends. Upon retiring from Kawneer, he worked alongside of his best friend Rick “The Brick” Guthrie (Brenda) helping build fences as well as many other projects.

He was an avid golfer with his good friends, Marv Higa, Keith Druhan and many of the guys he worked with from Kawneer. He loved to camp at the CWR Boat Club and enjoyed the friendships he developed throughout the years at the Boat Club, especially Norm and Keith Druhan and their wives.

Rick was a down to earth, well-loved man who will be sadly missed by many, but mostly by his loving wife Darlene – I’ll see you on the other side.

A special thank you to all of the doctors and nurses on 4C at the Chinook Regional Hospital as well as Home Care staff that took care of Rick in his time of need.

A private Family Gathering will be held at a later date.
