Sean D. Whisenhunt

In the early morning hours of Sept. 23, 2022, Sean D. Whisenhunt, loving son, brother and grandson, passed away tragically at the age of 26.

Sean was born on a beautiful August morning in 1996 to his loving mother Melisa and father Norman in Moses Lake, Washington. Soon after, he became a big brother to Celeste, his lifelong protector and friend. He was very close to his siblings, with a bond that will never be forgotten.

Sean was the boy who saved the day with a pocket knife and a grin, a man with a ready heart and smile. He spent a lot of time with his Gramma and Papa, whom he loved very much. He graduated in 2019 and had an interest and knowledge about languages, specifically Spanish, which he wished to pursue in college. Highly intelligent, Sean could do any math problem presented to him, solving a Rubik’s cube in 20 seconds flat. He was known for his quick wit, his infectious laugh, and his kind forgiving spirit.

Sean is survived by his mother Melisa Jones (Eric); father Norman Whisenhunt; grandparents Aaron and Nancy Hull; and siblings Celeste Whisenhunt (Justin), Aleah Jones (Justus), Logan Jones, Emily Jones, Katie Jones and Hannah Bradley. He also leaves behind many other close family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents Moller, grandpa Robert Moller, great-grandmother Bessie Mantz, grandma Marcia Huntwork and cousin Gavin Hayes.

A memorial service will be held at Grace Harvest Church, 313 N. Fig St., Moses Lake at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 23 and is open to the public.

"They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal; neither time or reason will change the way we feel. Gone are the days we used to share, but in our hearts you're always there. Gates of memories will never close; we miss you more than anybody knows. Until we meet again."
