David Lawson Whittington

David Whittington, devoted Christian family man, was born on July 28, 1948, in Amarillo, Texas, and joined his Heavenly Father on December 2, 2023, in San Antonio, Texas. David was the beloved husband of Sharon, father of Shelly Exparza (Steve) and Derek Whittington (Amy), grandfather to Ashley, Kristen, Taylor, and Travis Exparza, and Kate and Jack Whittington, brother to Joe (Kay), and uncle to many nieces and nephews. David graduated from West Texas State University in Canyon, Texas, in 1970 and earned his Certified Public Accounting license. After a long career in the accounting profession, he retired from AT&T in 2013. David enjoyed attending his grandchildren’s school and sporting events and traveling with his wife and friends to Ireland, Europe, and around the United States as well as a lifelong dream trip to Israel in 2022. His dedicated work for First Baptist Church of San Antonio, as a deacon and volunteer for 39 years, was a hallmark of his generous spirit. David and Sharon particularly enjoyed working as co-directors of an adult Bible Study class over the last six years. Wherever he was and whoever he was with, David was a constant source of kindness and joy. David’s joyful humor and deep love for his family and friends will be in the hearts of everyone who loved him forever.
