GRANGER - Robert L. "Bobby" Whitmer III, 20, of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, formerly of Granger, died December 4th in Sand Springs. Bobby was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert and Esther Whitmer.

Born February 11, 1987, in South Bend, to Robert L. and Rhonda (Guffey) Whitmer II, he is also survived by his sister, Nancy Kay Whitmer at home. Also surviving to cherish his memory are his aunts, Gloria L. Nyikos of Granger and Nancy Mitchell (Paul) of Culver; and his uncles, Jack A. Whitmer of South Bend, Ross Guffey of Granger and Ray Guffey (Vita) of Terlton, OK; and several cousins. Bobby lived most of his life in this area before moving to Oklahoma. He graduated from Penn High School and soon after the family moved to Sand Springs. He worked in the family business and was president of Whitmer Porta-Morgue. Bobby enjoyed hunting and fishing and was devoted to his family and friends and helped them in any way he could. His warm smile and caring ways will be missed greatly by his family and friends. It breaks our hearts to lose Bobby, but in his 20 years he left us with memories that will always be in our hearts.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, in the Welsheimer Family Funeral Home North, 17033 Cleveland Road, with Rev. James Campbell officiating. Burial will be at St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park. Friends may call two hours prior to services. Memorial contributions may be made to Camp Millhouse.
