Obituary:

John Suiters, 58, passed away January 15, 2021, from COVID complications.  He was born November 16, 1962, in Dayton, Ohio, the son of John and Margaret (Gasper) Suiters.  

John and his wife, Penny Spaulding, married as teenagers and they settled in Whitney.  They celebrated 36 years of marriage last June.  John was a warm and caring man who made every occasion brighter with his fun-loving spirit.  He had been employed as a grounds-worker and special needs bus driver for over 10 years at Whitney ISD.  The kids on his bus were always happy to see “Mr. John” and loved his warm and friendly personality.  

Surviving him are his wife, Penny; his daughter, Amanda; his son, Cody; his sisters, Judy Billard and Diane Edwards and her husband, Mike; and his many nieces and nephews.  

Memorial services will be held at a later date. Those who wish to remember John in a special way can visit his Facebook page for information on how to make gifts in his memory.
