Billy D Whitfield

Billy D. Whitfield was born on October 10, 1964, in Oberlin, Ohio. He lived in Lorain County for most of his life. On January 30, 2023, he transitioned from this Earth after battling health issues. In his youth, he was a golden glove champion in heavyweight and super heavyweight boxing; he did Kempo karate and judo, in which he obtained the highest awards in each sport he played. He liked to spend his time with his family and friends and go to new places, and try new things, he was also an avid gamer (destiny), and he collected comic books. He was the life of the party that people loved and flocked to. Billy never met someone he didn’t like as he was a people person.

Shakari (Jeremy) Whitfield, Jaden (Cierra) Whitfield, and Tyrese Whitfield, his godchildren Gilbert (Elizabeth) Soto, Angilena Gocher, and his nieces, nephews, and grandchildren that he loved dearly.
