Popular Gulf Coast artist dies of injuries
I haven’t really been following a lot of Gulf Coast news. But this story saddens me - alot. A popular Mississippi Gulf Coast artist, John Whitehouse of Ocean Springs, died yesterday afternoon of injuries sustained after being struck by a car.
The driver of the car, Ryan Odom, was driving a 2001 Nissan Maxima under the influence.  Odom is nineteen years old. Just in case you’re not from Mississippi, this is illegal as the legal age of drinking is twenty-one.
Mr. Whitehouse was found late Sunday night, and taken to Ocean Springs Hospital. He never regained consciousness.
For the full story, see this article from the Sun Herald. Ryan Odom has now been charged with felony DUI and fleeing the scene of an accident.
Here’s a link to Mr. Whitehouse’s website, GypsySoul. The Coast has lost a very talented potter, and he will be missed. May God be with his family.
 Here are some photos of his pottery:
