David was a strong entrepreneurial business owner within the Dearborn community. The Whitehouse family owned and operated Whitehouse Products, which was known as a landmark in Dearborn since the early 1960s for the giant Presto Whip cans on Telegraph Road just south of Michigan Avenue. David was constantly active. If he wasn’t running a business, real estate, or security investing, he was constantly working on projects. He always had a new list of projects to work on when the last one was completed. He enjoyed traveling and spending the summer days boating and water skiing at the property on Lake Shannon. It’s hard to count how many kids he taught to water ski. He always made his wife and family his first priority and was always involved with the many activities of his children, grandchildren, and great grandson.

He is survived by his wife Joanne, his son Curtis (Kris) and daughter Renee (Tim), as well as 4 grandchildren, Whitney, Michael, Austin, and Mitchell, and his great-grandson, Carter. He is also survived by his brother, Doug (Kathie), his nieces, Mary Ellen and Samantha, and his nephew, Billy. He was preceded in death by his father, mother, and sister, Delores, and nephew, George.
