He was born March 26, 1953, in Detroit, Michigan, to the late Ralph Eugene and Mary Gertrude Bowman Whitfield. He worked in the family’s transmission business during and after high school before moving to Shelbyville in 1984. He was a welder at Calsonic before attending Motlow State Community College and graduating with a degree in Nursing. He loved working as an ER nurse at the local hospital for many years. He moved into critical care nursing at Alvin C. York Veterans Hospital before retiring. He made many lifelong friends while working, which he held dear to his heart. He attended First Christian Church.
He loved motorcycles, Jeeps, and Tennessee football. He had fun yelling at the TV during football games and he enjoyed painting his gnomes. What he loved most was spending time with family and friends. He treasured his daughters and grandchildren, and his sister was always one of his best friends.
