Dr. Milton Falkner "Luke" White Jr.

I think about Milton often. His picture is on my refrigerator. He lived more of a full life in his 48 years than most people do who life a long time. He was, and is, an inspiration for all of us. I know Milton would give God the credit for who he was and for giving him his talents. May we all strive to live up to our potential.... with God's help. It's not easy in today's world but nothing is impossible with God.

6 years to the day and I still can't wrap my whole head around it. Reading the comments left by the myriad of people whose lives he's touch is, overwhelming honestly. I knew him as a father who practiced ophthalmology. But the the world, he was an ophthalmologist who was a father and husband. It's weird reading from that perspective but, quite comforting as well. It's astonishing how many people and places still actually remember him, even after years of little to no contact with them....

He is our greatest hero. We thank him for everything.

Paige, I am so sorry for you and the boys loss. I realize it two years later, I only read his name on the Berry High School Alumni (losses) You are in my prayers as well as your boys. God Bless. Tammy Means Brock

I have wanted to write for some time but do not even know where to begin. We lost you exactly one year ago today...and this has absolutely been the toughest year I have ever experienced in my life. In some ways, it seems like we lost you only yesterday, while other times it feels like it has been years. Not a day passes that I don't want to come sit in your office or join you at the lunch table to ask your advice, about work and personal issues, or share something special that happened in...

Wow, I can't believe it's almost been a year since you left us. There hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't come across something or someone that has a memory attached to you, even something as special as my son being MVP of his tennis team this year. Oh how I wish I could share that with you. Even though I worked with you a short time you have made such a lasting impact on my life even down to my own personal walk with the Lord. I truly believe that you made it a point to plant a...

blessed be thy soul Dr. White. You were a compassionate person, a merciful man, and a great doctor. You will be missed by all those whom your touch have cured.

I was shocked and saddened by googling Dr. White for his phone number only to find his obituary. He was such a kind and loving professional to my daughter who was born with a genetic syndrome that caused her coloboma. He will be missed and cherished for the care he provided. May he rest in the Loving Arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ. From all that I have read, I believe Our Lord will have said upon meeting Dr. White, "Well done my good and faithful servant."

I must be the last to know. I just heard tonight of our loss from a colleague. Luke was a mentor and a hero. He taught me more about ophthalmology and love and compassion than he ever knew. Paige, Nathan, Ryan, Tripp, I haven't seen any of you in 15 years, but my love and prayers for you are strong. Even though I haven't seen or talked to Luke in years, I have lost a friend in the world whom I knew I could trust. I will miss him until we meet again. Thank you Luke.
