Jon brought a new vision to the art department which carried it into the future.

Jon Whittington opened a new world for me.

He changed my life forever, as a mentor, teacher, and friend. I thought of him today, and I didn't know of his passing. My prayers are with you

Mr. Whittington, you helped me to find my path to education. Thank you for your encouragement to seek out my passion.

Jon, your kindness and friendship will always be cherished. Your inspiration and influence in my life has affected me since 1977 at Belhaven, where you opened my eyes to the world of Art, which will last a lifetime. Your spirit will live on in me and my art.     Thank You! 
Student and friend,
Eyd "Charles" Kazery

We celebrate Jon's life and the lives he touched.

I will remember Mr. Whittington with a smile on my face and a glow in my heart.  Such a special person, as was his entire family.  Love to Whit and Missy, may your hearts find lots of love and great memories these days.

Jon you were a friend and an inspiration. Rest in peace.

Whit - I have such fond memories of your dad in the studio at Belhaven (at the time it was down below "the grill").  Please know that you are very much in both my thoughts and prayers. It's never easy, but I'm hoping and praying that peace and joy will come quickly.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
