Jeremy Allen White

Jeremy Allen White, a man known for his adventurous spirit, skilled hands, and loving heart, passed away on November 21, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri, at the age of 48. Born on June 7, 1977, in Springfield, Missouri, Jeremy's life was defined by his passion for exploration, his gift for repairing anything with an engine, and his unwavering devotion to family and friends.
A graduate of Nixa High School, Jeremy formed lifelong friendships and discovered his love for mechanics early on. His talent led him to a fulfilling career as a mechanic at James River Ford, where he was admired for his expertise, hard work, and willingness to help anyone in need. Jeremy also proudly served his country as a member of the United States Marine Corps.
Jeremy found joy in life's simple pleasures. He loved live music, spontaneous road trips, treasure-hunting through flea markets, and peaceful walks that allowed him to connect with both nature and the people around him. He never turned down the chance to try a new food or experience something unexpected.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Mandy; his son, Cody; his father, GW White; and his grandparents, Wade and Esther White, and Claud and Lenora McGinnis, and his brother-in-law Matthew Ledbetter. Though Jeremy faced profound loss, his resilience and capacity for love never faded.
He is survived by his mother, Debra Henson (stepfather Wayne); his sisters, Larissa Ledbetter and Marissa White; and his brother, Jason Henson. He leaves behind his nephews, Casey Ledbetter, Mason Ledbetter, and Nolan Henson; his nieces, Bailey Deines (Donovan), Taylor Coffelt (Zane), and Canaan Riott; and his great-niece, Wrenley Deines. He is also remembered by numerous extended family members and friends whose lives were deeply touched by his presence.
As we say goodbye to Jeremy, we honor a life lived with spirit, a heart that loved freely, and a legacy that will continue to inspire all who knew him. Though his journey on this earth has ended, Jeremy's story lives on in the memories shared and the love he leaves behind.
A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, November 30, 2025, from 2:00–5:00 p.m. at Clever Fire Station, 406 N. Elm Ave., Clever, MO 65631.
