John White Obituary
So, I have gone to my Maker and thank Him for the life He gave me.
My Mom and Dad, Mary Jane and Paul and my sister Kathy have gone on before. So, this is about the ones I have left behind.
To my brothers Bill and Tim: You have been not just my brothers, but my best friends. Thank you for the love and support you have given me.
To my incredible wife Lise: I love you beyond words. You gave me so much of yourself and inspired me to always be better than I was. You have been my rock and my best friend. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for the love and support you gave me!
To my daughter Serena: You have always been the light of my life! I love you beyond words. Thank you for Logan and Ryker our two beautiful grandsons, and thank you for all the love and support you have given me.
To my children Tyler and Jacqueline: Thank you for the love and support you have always given me. Love you. Jacqueline, thank you for Louen and Esmé our two beautiful grandchildren.
To the Berthelots: Thank you for allowing me into your lives and for all the love and support you have given Lise and me.
To BC, Tony, Sharpie, David, Coach: Thank you for the friendship, support and prayers you have given me.
To Biff and David: Thank you for the many, many years of friendship!
I was blessed to have spent the last few years of my working life at Bay Mills Community College among a great group of people. Bay Mills always felt like home to me. Stephen, Nancy, Jan, Brent, Stephanie, Jeanie and Samantha, thank you for the friendship, love, support and prayers you have given me. And to the many students that passed my way through the years: You all touched my heart in some way and inspired me to be a better teacher.
There are many others I have been blessed to know through church, music and sports who have filled my life with inspiration and friendship. Thank you All.
