"Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in thankfulness that he was." Steven Daniel Whiddon passed away suddenly and unexpectedly as a passenger in an auto accident Sunday, June 27, 2010, in Pierre Part.
A native of Central, he was 19, born Jan. 15, 1991. He was a 2009 graduate of Central Private School. He was the starting center, No. 74, for the CPS Rebels varsity football team and had returned to CPS to volunteer his time to the athletic program after graduation. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed freshwater fishing and hunting at his family's camp in Woodville, Miss. His smile and laughter will forever live on in the hearts of those he called his friends. He was a stranger to no one and touched many lives in his short 19 years.
