Rep. John White sent me a personal letter of congratulations upon my acceptance into FAMU. I was so happy that he thought to encourage me in my future endeavors. He was a drum major for justice in Southwest Ga. I will always remember that he was not only articulate but impeccably dressed at all times. May his family be comforted by sweet memories and strengthened by Gods love.

My sympathy to my family. May God give you comfort and strength. Love you 😍

Sending love and prayers to the family of Mr. John White.

Wishing the family blessings and sincere condolences. Remembering when John was the announcement clerk at Hines Memorial CME church and when he was the first person of color giving the news on walb tv. I also worked with him during his campaign for public service. Blessings, love and prayers to the family.

Great Man Human Being Who Touched The Lives Of Many...My Hometown Of Albany, Georgia Without A Doubt! He Will Be Truly Missed! Sir, Take Your Eternal Rest In Heavenly Peace 🙏

The world has lost a giant of men! John White was a great man that did great things for the community and the nation! I was indeed grateful to have met him at the age 15 during the boycott of Piggly Wiggly here in Albany Georgia. He instilled great words of wisdom throughout his life among everyone he met. The rest in heaven Mr John White. I am praying for the family during this time of loss!

John, I will miss my history lessons, my articles, our conversations, my hook up when WALB needs an interview for a story, my text messages, and you telling me alternate ways to get from Montgomery to Albany. I will never forget you standing on your porch in March, watching us drive away, and my phone ringing hearing your voice say "you are going in the wrong direction". You have always been like one of my uncles. I love you. I promise to keep our stories alive. You advocated for us a long time. Now rest!!!!

Praying 🙏🏾 for the family

With a heavy heart i honor the memory of a man who was like an uncle to me, a man I greatly admired and will always be missed... I love you my representative Mr John White

My sincere condolences to the family of JW. John shared so much with us in Albany. We are thankful.

Rest In Power ✊🏿

To the White La Familia,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Mr. John White. He was truly a pioneer, mentor, and a man of wisdom whose impact will never be forgotten.

I was blessed to study under Mr. JW. In the time I knew him, he taught me lessons that will stay with me forever. He taught me to stand against injustice, to always have a plan for moving forward, and to carry myself with purpose and integrity.

One phrase he often told me was, "Let's have a clear understanding so that there is no misunderstanding." Those words reflected the wisdom and leadership he carried every day.

I will always remember him as "Mr. JW — The G.O.A.T." His mentorship, encouragement, and wise counsel changed my life, and I will forever be grateful.

Praying for strength, comfort, and peace for your la familia during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy, Nia Pagniacci

Thanks for all you did to enhance the lives of the people of the State of Georgia. My Brother, you will be truly missed!

To the White family, you have my sincere condolences. I am sorry to hear about the homegoing of Mr. John White. I am sure he will be missed by many. May the Holy Ghost give you comfort and peace during this time of mourning. Live and smile off all of those beautiful memories of him. My prayers are with you.

I know him Pop-Pop! It was through you that God gave me two of my best friends. I want to thank you for all the memories that you shared. Thank you for always providing me with wise council. You showed me servitude will fortify both foundation, and framework for the black community to strive...you did that! ✊🏿

Hold it in the road Mr. White! 🙏🏿

I will miss you my buddy! Didn't know why my niece Angie and I wanted to stop by and visit with you in March. Not knowing it would be the last time we would see you.

State Representative John White was an example of a man on a mission. He came to Albany and Dougherty County Georgia with a desire to shake things up and make a difference in the lives of those who otherwise might not have thought of themselves as powerful. He was the only African American I saw on the local news which was a refreshing change to the norm. Great Educator and Politician, he reminded me that it wasn't about the people in power but it was about the power in the people and the people had the last say with their vote. He never fully received credit for the Georgia Lottery or the state song or the bills that became laws in Georgia benefiting all citizens. He did an awesome job at FAMU in Florida and ASU in Georgia and Alabama in general. What a great guy who was my neighbor and a source of inspiration. May the soul of this public servant continue to rest in peace. I shall call his name from time to time and keep his memory alive here in The Good Life City because a part of him will forever be etched in the fabric of Georgia. From Hope Scholarships to my cousin Ray Charles rendition of Georgia On My Mind, John White will be forever with us. To his family I say thank you for sharing him with us and we are eternally grateful for the sacrifices he made to better the lives of those who he consider his extended family and friends.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
