Harrison White Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by McDonald and Son Funeral Home and Crematory - Cumming on Jan. 7, 2026.
Harrison James White, beloved son, brother, Uncle and friend, passed away on Dec. 29, 2025, at the age of 30 with his parents at his side. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Harrison is survived by his loving parents, Daniel and Kathy White, his two brothers, Philip White and Andrew White and 2 nieces Bentley and Birdie, who meant the world to him. He was a cherished son and a fiercely loyal brother, always present, encouraging and kind.

Harrison lived life with a spirit of adventure and joy. He was an accomplished rock climber and an avid outdoorsman who felt most alive exploring the beauty of the natural world or fishing at his favorite lake, Lake Cleburne. Whether scaling rock faces or sharing stories afterward, Harrison had a way of drawing people in and making them feel welcome. Known for his genuine heart, Harrison was someone who consistently brought smiles to others. He had a rare ability to make people feel appreciated, valued and loved. He never spoke ill of anyone and carried himself with quiet integrity, compassion and grace. His care for his friends and family ran deep with an unwavering loyalty, and he would always show up. Harrison battled an illness for over 10 years, and his fight will never be forgotten.

Harrison leaves behind a legacy of kindness, encouragement and love. His adventurous spirit and gentle soul will continue to inspire those who knew him, and his memory will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends.

A service celebrating Harrison's life will be held on Monday, Jan. 12 at First Redeemer Church, 2100 Peachtree Parkway, Cumming, GA 30041 at 2:00 pm. The family will receive visitors beginning at 12:45.

In lieu of flowers, a GoFundMe page in Harrison's memory has been set up for the Harrison White Memorial Fund focused on better communication with and about mental health.
