Friends and family are mourning the loss of a Clark County school bus driver, Greg Willhite, after he was hit and killed on his way to work while riding his motorcycle.

Police say this happened last Friday, June 6, at an intersection about a mile and a half away from the First Student bus yard in Battle Ground.

“It’s just remembering him is heartbreaking,” said Clayton Carter, Greg’s best friend, who also works as a bus driver.

Willhite was a bus driver for six years at First Student, driving rig #84. His coworkers say he loved many things dearly: his wife, family, friends, motorcycle and his job. Now, they’re remembering all the meaningful moments he would bring to work every single day.
