Kevin White Obituary

Kevin White, a computer generated digital artist, peacefully departed from this life on February, 28, 2019.In 1985, Kevin was in the process of pursuing a degree in Commercial Art Advertising at Cleveland State University when he was in a tragic motorcycle accident, leaving him a quadriplegic.

He continued with his artistic dreams with the help of Don and Karen Densmore, of Perry, OH, who printed and framed his artwork, and transported him to art shows throughout Lake, Ashtabula and Cuyahoga Counties.Kevin was able to produce digital pictures with the aid of a “HeadMouse” that moved the cursor with his head motion, and two large mouse buttons at his right elbow. Kevin received considerable television and newspaper coverage, highlighting the quality and beauty of his creations. Some of his artwork toured the State of Ohio with the VSA Ohio organization.In spite of Kevin’s physical limitations, he was always loving and appreciative of everyone he met, and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.Kevin was born February 12, 1961 in Cleveland, OH, to Natalie E. and Henry L. White (Deceased).

I met Kevin at his display booth in 2007 during an art show on Painesville Square. I bought one of his digital design pictures and others in years to follow. I just painted some walls in my house and was thinking of him today when I was hanging his magnificent pictures back up. He was one of the kindest persons, with so much love I had ever met.

I first met Kevin 14 yrs ago through a client of mine. I displayed his artwork at my salon & had a local art show there for him. Kevin & I quickly become friends as art was our common denominator. He would love to ride the Laketran bus to see me to get his hair cut at the salon & have pizza. He enjoyed going with us to the park, church & barbecues. Kevin was a very talented artist, a terrific friend & will be greatly missed by my family & I.
