Whiley will be dearly missed by family and friends as he was the light in every room that he was in. His faith in God and love of his family were the most important aspects of his life. He loved to cook and did so almost every Sunday for his family until recently. He is well known for his pralines and other amazing dishes. After retiring from Halliburton Services for over 30 years, Whiley spent his retirement years in service of others. He volunteered at Second Harvest Food Bank until his first diagnosis of cancer in 2017. He was very dedicated to and volunteered at his church parish where he served as an usher among many other duties and activities. Anyone who knew Whiley, knew he was also an avid bowler. Whiley proudly served in the Army National Guard as a Platoon Sergeant Company "C" 2nd BN 156th Infantry.

The family would like to thank his caregivers, Nicole Daggs, Beatrice "Bee" Landry, Jennifer Truehill for their love and care.
