John C. Whitehurst was an active member in the Pinellas Area Council and Boy Scouts. He attended The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, and reached the cadet rank of Sergeant during his Junior year. While returning home to Clearwater, FL for the Christmas Holiday, John would experience a tragic traffic accident that would end his young life in 1969. Timuquan Lodge honored his memory and outstanding achievement with this award given to one "Outstanding Youth Vigil Honor Member" from that year's vigil class.
