Ken graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in history. He taught history and government at Galena Park High School where he also coached football and baseball. He loved his students and rejoiced when he could instill in them a love of our country's history. He was a loyal friend and a loyal fan of the Houston Astros, Texans and Rockets...win or lose. He loved crossword puzzles, Jeopardy, old movies, hunting, and sports of any kind. Ken is survived by his wife of 44 years Sharon Whitney; sons Ken Whitney and wife Randi, Sean Whitney and fiancé Doria Wright; grandchildren Jake, Luke, Lauren, and Lane Whitney; brother, Glenn Whitney and wife Martha; sisters-in-love Julia Whitney and Becky Henderson; numerous nieces and nephews and special friends.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Dr. Heinz Hermann of Pasadena and Dr. Blum of M.D. Anderson for their compassionate care. The doctors, nurses and staff at M.D. Anderson were wonderful to Ken and our family throughout this journey.
