He was a proud veteran and sharp shooter in the United States Marine Corps.

He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years Pam Turney White, daughter Janelle Ulrich of Russellville, son Damon White (Lakin) of Atkins, step daughter Courtney Cantrell of Maumelle, and grandchild Kaylee Chambers of the home, 11 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, his brother Don (Melba) White of Mabelvale, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.
