Celebrating the life of
Allen David Whiteford
Passed away on September 16, 2025

Allen David Whiteford, 55, died peacefully on Tuesday Sept 16th, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous and faithful walk with the Lord through ALS.
He was born in Sumter, SC to Master Sergeant Douglas Whiteford and Linda (Baker) Whiteford. He lived in several places before his parents came back home from military service to Savannah in 1982. He graduated from Memorial Day School in 1988.
In 1998, working for The Home Depot in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, Allen met the love of his life, the former Jennifer Leigh West of Cary, NC. They have two wonderful daughters. Allen was an effective and beloved retail manager, working at Home Depot for 15 years, then at Bed Bath and Beyond for 15 years, and finally at Chick-fil-A Victory for 3 years. He was an active member of Southside Baptist Church in Savannah. He leaves a legacy of faith in Jesus, and in all of his relationships with coworkers and friends (most times one-in-the-same), his joy was to point people to the Cross.

I had the privilege of getting know Allen while working at Bed Bath and Beyond for 4 years. Allen was one of the kindest and open minded people I had met while working there. I often made fun of his Dad Jeans, which he got a kick out of. He inspired me to start running. He will be truly missed.

I worked with Allen at Home Depot a very long time ago. Allen was always so nice, kind and pleasant to everyone he encountered. I saw him again many years later at Bed Bath & Beyond and we spoke and he was doing great and proudly told me about his wife & children. Every single time I saw Allen, he had a smile on his face and the same kind and pleasant personality. My thoughts and condolences are with his family who lost a great man. Rest in eternal peace Allen and watch over your beautiful family as they grieve. I know you will always be watching over them as their Guardian Angel.

I miss my guy. Our friendship isn't really that long but I felt like we were lifelong friends. We shared a lot of the same interests sports, music,movies and most importantly our love of Christ. He was my brother in Christ first and that alone gives me comfort in knowing I'll see him again one day. I pray it brings some comfort to his family, we lost one of the good ones but just for now. John 16:22

I had the privilege of meeting Allen at the back door of Chick-fil-A as I was delivering bread. Every delivery we would talk about our love of sports. During football season he couldn't wait to open up the door and talk about the Cincinnati Bengals game. On other days we would talk about the old school Atlanta Braves and our sport cards collections. I will miss our conversations. May God Bless your family and friends with treasured memories and continued prayers.
