Timothy Whitehouse

Timothy Whitehouse entered this world at the beginning of 1966 on January 4th, and left it on December 4th of 2024 - he was much beloved by those that knew him. He took a winding path through life as we so often do, having started his career as a teacher at Bellaire High School for a number of years before moving to Newberry to teach at Newberry High School from where he ultimately retired. As a teacher, Tim was much beloved, and students saw him as he was. He was a coach, a teacher, and to those in that remarkable profession he was a treasured colleague and friend. Tim taught Spanish and American History and had a passion for both, but being a teacher meant a lot more than just sharing knowledge. At times it was helping his students through difficult times, sometimes it was providing guidance and a little bit of that signature humor of his. More than just a teacher he was a son, his parents Janet and Phillip Whitehouse remain with us today. Besides being a son, Tim was a brother, his siblings Michelle (Lee) Sharp, Tamara (Steve) Sampson, David (Peggy) Whitehouse, and Cody (Ashley) Whitehouse, remain with us today. Tim was a father to two sons, Anthony (Jane) Whitehouse of Newberry, Michigan and Josh (Shelby) Whitehouse of Wausau, Wisconsin. In the most convenient, and simplest of terms Tim was all these things, but I think that we all found that he was always much more than that, he was after all, Tim Whitehouse. Since he never did care much for pomp or flair, he declined to have a funeral and chose cremation. Though his physical body has perished from this earth, he will be living on in each and every one of us as we continue to remember and honor our father, your teacher, your friend, your son, your brother, your colleague. A time will be determined for a celebration of life as the finer details are worked out. If you wish to honor our father, take a moment to reflect, maybe even put on “Don’t you (forget about me)” by the Simple Minds, he loved that song, and that wraps this stage in his life up quite nicely. Rest in peace old man. Go Buckeyes!
