David Allen Whidby, 75, of St. Albans, WV, passed away on October 2, 2024, at his home.

David was born in Charleston, WV, on February 21, 1949. After high school, David became a professional truck driver, and proudly made deliveries all over West Virginia, being able to get a “tractor-trailer” into WV’s small towns and curvy roads! During his retirement years, David developed a hobby of making hand-crafted canes, of which he blessed many with. David was a devout Christian and faithful member of the Dunbar Church of the Nazarene. After Jesus, his wife Evelyn was the love of his life, and they were blessed to celebrate their 51^st Wedding Anniversary this past summer.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Monroe “Pete” Whidby and Betty Mae Fizer Whidby; his brother, Paul M. Whidby; and sisters, Sharon L. Vanatter and Jackie Marie Stewart. He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Whidby; and sister, Debbie Koontz (Bill).

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Dunbar Church of the Nazarene, 1334 Lightner Ave., Dunbar, WV 25064 (www.dunbarnazarene.org).
