He was the first black Driver/Salesman for Shell Oil in the Southeast area. His favorite activity was bowling.

Pastor Whitehurst accepted the Lord as his personal savior when he was a boy under the leadership of his father Prince Grady Whitehurst, Triumph Church Kingdom of God in Christ. In 1957, at the tender age of 20, Elder Whitehurst relocated from Alabama to Florida and connected with the Triumph Church in Tampa.
