Reggie White Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 26, 2004.
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Reggie White, one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, died Sunday, his wife said. He was 43.

"Today our beloved husband, father and friend passed away," White's wife, Sara, said in a statement through a family pastor. "His family appreciates your thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of Reggie White. We want to thank you in advance for honoring our privacy."

A cause of death was not immediately known, though the NFL's Web site listed it as a massive heart attack.

A two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, White played a total of 15 years with Philadelphia, Green Bay and Carolina. He retired in 2000 as the NFL's all-time leader in sacks with 198. The mark has since been passed by Bruce Smith.

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of the greatest men ever to play the game of football," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. "On behalf of the entire Eagles family, our condolences go out to his wife, Sara, to his children, and to all those who have been touched by Reggie throughout his life. His legacy on and off the football field will never be forgotten."

A member of the NFL's 75th anniversary team, White was elected to the Pro Bowl a record 13 straight times from 1986-98. He was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1987 and 1998, and was also an ordained minister.

He began his career with the Memphis Showboats of the USFL in 1984, and joined the Philadelphia Eagles, who held his NFL rights, after the USFL folded in 1985.

After eight years as an integral piece in Philadelphia's "Gang Green Defense," White signed as a free agent with Green Bay in 1993 for $17 million over four years, huge for that era. His signing, along with a trade for quarterback Brett Favre, brought a measure of respectability back to the franchise and he was the first major black player to sign with the Packers as a free agent.

His decision to choose the Packers was a surprise. During much of what his tour to various teams, he suggested he would prefer a major city, where he could minister to black youth.

"That's what changed the football fortunes of this franchise. It was huge," Packers president Bob Harlan said Sunday of White's signing. "Everyone thought the last place he would sign was Green Bay and it was monumental because not only did he sign but he recruited for Green Bay and got guys like Sean Jones to come here. He sent a message to the rest of the NFL that Green Bay was a great place to play and before that this was a place people didn't want to come."

He helped lead the Packers to consecutive Super Bowl appearances, including a win over New England in 1997, when he set a Super Bowl record with three sacks.

White worked tirelessly in the offseason with inner-city kids and to bridge the racial and economic divide. But his image was tarnished when he gave a speech in which he denounced homosexuality and used ethnic stereotypes. White later apologized for any harm his comments may have caused.

White was 39 when he finished his NFL career with Carolina, leaving the game with 198 sacks. That was actually White's third retirement. He retired for one day before the 1998 season, but then said God had told him he needed to play again, and he returned to the Packers.

White retired again after the 1998 season and took a year off from football. After the Packers allowed him out of his contract, White returned to the Panthers last season and played for $1 million.

"I will always miss the locker room and the guys, but I know God's will for me to move on to other challenges because it's not in me like it used to be," White said at the time.

White's last season was disappointing in many respects. He recorded a career-low 5.5 sacks with only 27 tackles. He didn't show the same pass-rushing skills that made him a dominating force for much of the past two seasons.

White spent eight years with the Eagles and six with the Packers before a final one with the Panthers.

Remarkably durable, White missed only one game in his last 12 seasons and started all but three games during that span.

"Reggie's records and accomplishments say it all," said George Seifert, who coached him on the Panthers. "He is a Hall of Fame player and possibly the best defensive lineman ever to play the game."

I just watched the 30 for 30 documentary on Reggie White and wanted to say thank you. I became a believer in 2000, and was finishing college as an adult student the year Mr. White passed over. Because of school's demands I lost touch with my love of football for several years, and did not realize any of this about Mr. White. I have placed his family in our prayers.

I never like football until I saw Reggie White playing and the way he went to the end of the field and jumped up and touched hands with his fans. What a man! When I started learning about his Christianity, I was even more impressed with him. God definitely had an angel helping Him here on earth, and not in Heaven.

I certainly miss my old team mate. You were a great football player at Tennessee, and the NFL. But what impressed me more about you - you were a greater man. It's still hard to believe you're gone, but your assignments on earth were complete. Now all those seeds you planted along your journey are now germinated and taken root; they are constantly spreading throughout this nation and the world. I speak from experience. I too received from the ministry within you.
I know you are at peace my brother.

My prayer is that this poem God gave me will comfort you. It is: MESSAGE FROM REGGIE: From the day I was conceived God had for me a plan. He wanted me to get involved to help my fellow man. I know your hearts are heavy & you miss having me there. But I'm with God in heaven where no one has a care. Heaven is so beautiful I'm walking streets of gold. Now I'm serving others including saints of old. It really was amazing when I walked through the gate. I saw the beauty of this place and I could hardly wait. To come into the presence of The Father and The Son. Hearing Him say to me the priceless words "WELL DONE!" You should see my mansion it's a sight to see. Jesus had it custom built especially for me. I'm having the best time up here so don't be sad and blue. I'm looking forward to the day when I can usher you; into this very special place where God is on His throne and we will have the honor to worship Him alone!
Thank you Reggie for your service.

My most heartfelt prayers for Mr. White's family & friends & fans (of which I now find myself). I only "just" saw the movie Reggies Prayer, on JCTV. Many have been inspired, and I imagine saved in Jesus Name, for Mr. White's contrabution to The Gospel. He will always be a hero....

To the family of Mr.Reggie White, A great football player he was, it must be hard for you Ms. Sara in these times you really need encouragement , and I find that the Bible has that comfort, Isaiah 25:8,9 says: He (God) will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. Isn't that a wonderful thing to know ? It also speaks of that day one will certainly say : Look! this our God we have hoped in him, and he will save us this is Jehovah ,we have hoped in him let us be joyful and rejoice in the salvation by him.Please fill free to get in touch with me and I am truly sorry for your loss. 14128 S.

To the White Family,

I am truely sorry for your loss, Reggie was way to young to depart from this world. He is my age and his death was an eye opener for me to appricate every day I am here. I also have lost several freiends and family members so I understand the loss of a loved one. Words cannot describe the empty feeling one has after a loss. Thank you for allowing us to have our own relationship with him as Packer fans. I will always be thank full for his commetment as a player but I must say he shined far more as a man. I will never forget the pride he had rasing the Lombardi trophy.

God bless your family.

Dear Reggie and family, You were a true hero to the Philadelphia Eagle fans. You epitomized the phrase, "Gentleman, Athlete, Family Man, and Lover of God." You are missed in Philadelphia. I can remember one time in an Eagle's game, you recovered a fumble and ran twenty or so yards to a TD, in a Monday night game. Seeing your large frame move that quickly was interesting. Eagles fans of all ages, I am sure, Love and Miss You. I certainly do. You were a role model for a City and it's fans. May You Rest in Peace & Eternity. My condolences to your family. God Bless.

Dear White Family, I remember the first time I saw Reggie White play football. In 1997 I was ten, I loved it. It was not just how he played the game but how he was in life. Although im only about 19 I try my best to live the way Mr. White did. I always loved football but never got to play because of my cerebral palsy but I try so hard to put my faith in the Lord just like he did because just like Reggie said through the Lord you can do ANYTHING! I just hope I can be as good a man as him so I can see my hero again some day. God Bless You.

DEAR SARA,

I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE DEATH NOTICE FOR SOMEONE WITH THE LAST NAME WHITE, WHEN I STUMBBLED UPON REGGIE'S GUESS BOOK. I JUST HAD TO MAKE THIS ENTRY TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE GREAT MAN THAT YOU AND YOUR KIDS LOVED SO VERY MUCH WAS ALSO LOVED AND RESPECTED BY SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. PEOPLE THAT ADMIRED HIS STRENGHT AND INTEGRITY AND THAT INFECTIOUS SMILE OF HIS. I AND MY TWIN ALWAYS WOULD SAY THAT OUR EX-BROTHER-LAW LOOKED JUST LIKE REGGIE WHITE. I WILL CONTIUNE TO PRAY FOR GOD TO COMFORT YOU AND THE KIDS.I STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT REGGIE IS NO LONGER WITH US BUT UP IN HEAVEN SITTING WITH HIS HEAVENLY FATHER LOOKING DOWN AND WATCHING OVER HIS FAMILY AND SMILING WITH SUCH PRIDE AT HOW WONDERFULLY YOU ALL ARE HOLDING UP. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO WALK BESIDE EACH OF YOU. [email protected]

To the Reggie White family,

I've been a Green Bay Packer fan since early childhood (Lombardi era). I soon became a huge fan of Reggie White when he came to play in Green Bay. I was not only a fan of #92 as a player, but more importantly, I became a fan of his because of what he stood for and believed in. On the day of his death, I wore my #92 Packer Home jersey in his honor, because he had been called Home. I pray that God will continue to bless your family and fill the void in your lives without Reggie.

Yesterday's Hall of Fame induction brought back so many wonderful memories. You're still very loved and missed, Reggie. I'm sure that all of Heaven's Vols were cheering, too.

Dear Sara,

This is my second entry in the guest book, the first was shortly after this site was opened. I just wanted to tell you, that seeing Reggie inducted into the NFL Football Hall of Fame is the fianl milestone in a stellar career. He was by far, my most favourite lineman of all time, and I miss watching him play. You should also know that my dad & mom were big Packers fans, and Reggie was one of my dad's favourite players. I know that he is with God, as you & the children know also, but rest assured, he is with the King now. May God Bless you & the children always.

Dear Sara and Family,



The tribute that you and your children made to Reggie on Saturday was amazing. I know that he would be so proud of all of you. Your daughter has a beautiful god given voice that angels would envy, your son is an eloquent speaker and a fine young man and you are a strong, capable, intelligent woman who I believe captured the essence of who Reggie was and what he would have said had he been there. It is nice to finally see him enshrined in the Hall of Fame where he will live on forever as he does in all of our hearts. God bless you and yours.

I am a disabled adult. I watched your husband play for many years. I can not express the joy I experienced watching his complete, masterful play. I know he is now with God, and watching over you, and your children. The world lost a great human being. Fans lost a wonderful hero. This loss, in no way; can compare with yours. I am happy to see him inducted to The Hall Of Fame.

Sara,as I prepared for work on Saturday, August 5,2006 at 5:30 a.m., I seen you briefly make comments, crying about the speech you had to make. At that moment I begin to pray and ask God to stengthen you. When I return home at 4:00 p.m., I was able to see God at work through you. You was strong, confident and handled yourself well. Your family is beautiful and your husband touched my family every time we watched him on television. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Sara, I sat in my chair and cried Saturday afternoon when you and your son showed off Reggie's Hall of Fame bust for the first time. You must be very, very proud of Reggie and your wonderful family. Thank you for a very inspirational speach, and your son and daughter were simply terrific. I'm 43 years old, still young enough to know Reggie is my role model forever. My mother simply loved your husband on and off the football field, she passed away 16 years ago. I hope she gets to shake Reggie's hand in heaven.

It is unfortunate that when I heard we were related and I tried to reach out to you we never connected.



I am so pleased to know that my Pastor Dr. Price endorsed your ministerial writings. It is comforting in a sense to know that there is an indirect bond between us in the spiritual although never confirmed in the natural. It is my prayer that we meet on the other side.



My heartfelt sympathy is extended to the family. May God cover you now and forever.

Reggie was a great inspiration. I remember him coming to Highland Park Baptist Church, Chattanooga, TN, and giving his testimony a few years before his death. Truly, he was not only a great football player, but, more importantly, a great Christian. He will be missed.

Please know that the entire family is still in my thoughts and prayers.

The legacy of this man, has inspired me to pick the major that I have; Sports Ministry. Very rare major, but one that I wouldn't have choosen if my Father had not told me a story about Reggie White (when I was young, and learning the game of football) about how when White was on the line and would witness to the player of the opposite team before the play started. The inspiration from White and the legacy he has left behind inspires me still to participate in collegiate sports with the same determination and attitude as once I was told that Reggie White had. I attempt to leave the same legacy behind one day, but I know that I can't come even close because no one can be the one and only Reggie White.
