Whitey from Leave it to Beaver Dead.

Former child actor Stanley Fafara, who played Beaver's pal Whitey on the idyllic family sitcom "Leave It to Beaver" but descended into a real-life adulthood of drugs, alcohol and petty crime, has died at age 53, friends said Friday.

Fafara died in a Portland, Oregon, hospital on Saturday, Sept. 20, of complications from surgery he underwent last month to repair a constricted intestine caused by a hernia, according to Tom Hallman Jr., a reporter for the Portland Oregonian who knew him.

This kid sure had a messed up life. I hope he is at peace now.

1. He doesn't know if he's at peace or not - he's dead!

I hope he had what he would consider a decent life. The time to learn to be at peace is while one is alive.

okay - preachy time over. :)
