Harold was born on June 20th, 1961 in Sacramento, Ca, to Mary and Harold McWhirter Sr. He graduated from Anderson High School in Anderson, Ca. He spent most of his adult life living in Cottonwood, Ca as a long haul truck driver. He loved the open roads and beautiful sights. He also spent sometime as a water tender on wild fires all across California. Harold enjoyed spending quality time with his step childern and grandkids, teaching them what life is all about. 

One of his greatest lessons was to not take life so serious all the time and enjoy a cold beer. Harold enjoyed gold panning, fishing, and using his metal detector. He loved anything that had to do with nature. Harold also loved going on trips with his wife, Christine. Harold was a person people could count on to help them when he could. His personality brought laughter and joy to everyone he encountered and his passing will be mourned by those who knew and loved him.
