Earl R White, 46, passed away unexpectedly on January 2, 2026. He was a kind-hearted, generous man who was deeply supportive and fiercely protective of the people he loved.
A simple man who never needed much, Earl found his greatest joy in spending time with family—especially his son, Justin and he was eagerly looking forward to welcoming his first grandchild later this year. Family meant everything to him, whether by blood or by bond.
Known for his good-natured, playfully harassing sense of humor, Earl had a way of making those around him laugh and feel at ease. His presence was steady, loyal, and comforting, and he was always there when someone needed him.
Racing was not just a hobby for Earl it was a way of life. For more than 25 years, he dedicated countless hours to working on race cars alongside friends who became his second family. If it was a weekend, you could be sure to find him at a racetrack. When the weather was too cold to race, he could often be found at one of his favorite bowling alleys, enjoying another pastime he loved.
Earl will be remembered for his generous heart, his quiet strength, and the unwavering love he showed to those closest to him. He leaves behind a legacy of loyalty, laughter, and cherished memories that will live on through all who knew and loved him.
Surviving is his son Justin White along with his parents John and Jean (Vogel) White Sister, Jennifer (Joe Rakoci) Mccurdy, John White and Brian White. Nephews Logan, Pacey and Kellen. Along with numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
