David was a passionate sports enthusiast who always cheered on and supported his daughters in their athletic pursuits. Beyond sports, he was a constant source of encouragement for his family, supporting them in their academics and life endeavors. He was a well-known presence in the community, both as an avid pickleball and basketball player and as a cherished friend to many.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Jean White, and daughters Ella Rose White and Sienna Mayde Grace White. David is survived by his two siblings, brother Dennis White and sister Deanne White. He also leaves behind many other family members and friends who will sadly miss him.
