Christopher William Whitehead

Christopher William Whitehead, age 36, passed peacefully on September 29, 2021, in Hiram, Georgia following a brief illness. Chris was born on June 4, 1985, in Decatur, GA to his parents Russ Whitehead and Mary McKinney. He graduated from Parkview High School in 2003, and he went on to join the Marines. Eventually, he moved to Dallas, GA and accepted a position as a truck driver at Keim T.S., where he worked for more than 6 years. Chris is survived by his wife Samantha of 12 years; his daughters Alyssa and Kaitlyn; his siblings, Nichole, Samantha Jo, and Dakota; his mother, Mary McKinney and his father and stepmother Russ and Barbara. Chris was a great family man and a loving father. He married Samantha June Whitney on September 12, 2009, and the couple had two children together, Alyssa and Kaitlyn. Chris was a social, active man who was deeply passionate about family, church, and country. He enjoyed hiking, going to the gun range, and spending time with his loved ones. His family and friends will always remember him as a loving, caring person who was always a phone call away. He was a fierce protector who also had the most infectious smile. A celebration of life will be held, Wednesday, October 6, 2021, from 10 am to 1 pm at Southern Cremations and Funerals Columbarium with Pastor David Cook officiating. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Christopher’s life. The family would like to thank everyone for their prayers, love, and support during this difficult time.
