Angus Whyte

Angus Whyte, 67, of Charlotte Hall, MD, passed away on July 20, 2025 at his residence. Angus was born on September 17, 1957 in Aberdeen, Scotland to the late, Yvonne (Smith) and John Whyte. Angus was a gifted horse show jumper in Scotland, where his passion for horses led him not only to many competitions—but also to the love of his life, Judith. The two met while traveling the horse circuit, and their shared sense of adventure eventually brought them to the United States in 1987 to build a life together. Angus made his mark here as a dedicated, self-employed Farrier. His craftsmanship, patience, and quiet strength earned him a loyal clientele—many of whom passed his name down through generations. He truly loved his work and the people (and horses) he served. Whether it was showing up for a last-minute appointment or lending a hand to someone in need, Angus led with a strong work ethic, deep humility, and a heart full of kindness. Outside of work, Angus was a man of simple joys. He loved hunting, and could often be found tuned in to a game—cheering on the Washington Nationals, the Washington Redskins, or just about any baseball team. He especially cherished the years he spent coaching his sons’ baseball teams, instilling in them the same values he lived by: dedication, humor, and love. One of Angus’s favorite rituals was keeping his family warm in the winter—methodically chopping wood and tending to his beloved wood stove. It was more than a task to him; it was an act of devotion. A loyal husband, a proud father, and a gentle soul, Angus gave his family the kind of love that asked for nothing in return. That love extended to his fur babies, Pip and Otto, who were never far from his side. Angus was the kind of man who left an impression without trying—humble, steadfast, and deeply loved. His absence leaves a hole that can never be filled, but his warmth and quiet strength live on in those who knew him. Angus is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Judith (Berrie) Whyte; sons; Cameron Whyte and his wife Hannah, Kyle Whyte, and Lachlan Whyte and his wife Jordyn; grandchildren; Charli Whyte, Norah Whyte, and Callahan Whyte; and brothers; Ian Whyte, and Callum Whyte. Visitation will be held on Friday, July 25, 2026 from 5:00 PM until Time of Remembrances at 7:00 PM at Raymond Funeral Service, 5635 Washington Ave, La Plata, MD 20646. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Angus’ name are asked to; Promise Landing Farm, 16900 Clagett Landing Road, Upper Marlboro, MD 20774.
