Gary Louis White passed away on Sunday morning, May 19th, 2024.

He accepted Christ at a young age. He was a loving son, brother, and uncle who brought laughter to everyone around him.

Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. James White and Mrs. Peggy Jane White, his sister, Cynthia White, and his niece, Cindy White.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and memories, survived by his seven siblings: James White (Sylvia), Patricia White, Linda Bonaparte (James), Ronnie White, Maxine Sturdivant, Patrick White (Dionne), Lisa Caldwell (Rico); his aunts, Carolyn Marsh (Steve) and Margaret Pegues, and a host of nieces and nephews.

Gary attended the Union County school system and obtained his high school diploma from Stanley Community College. He then served in the U.S. Navy. Later, he obtained his certification as a machinist. He gained employment with Scott Aviation for several years and then took on a position with Coffing Hoist as a skilled machinist until he passed away.

Gary was very passionate about his job and found fulfillment in it. He loved spending time with his family and enjoyed a few hobbies, including shooting his collection of firearms and flying his collection of helicopters. He also had a deep passion for yoga, which brought him much peace. If you ever saw Gary, you would always see him wearing his favorite brand, True Religion.
