John Chapman White Sr., age 58, of Logan, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly September 11, 2025, at Fairfield Medical Center, Lancaster, Ohio.

John was born August 5, 1967, in Springfield, Ohio to Phillip and Sandra White. John loved going fishing, four-wheeling, and towing cars. He worked for Easy Towing for many years in Lancaster. John also enjoyed spending time with family and friends and joking around. He was a very silly, goofy, and stubborn old man.

Surviving are his mother, Sandra White; children, Amanda (Mike) Hopkins, Trisha (Felipe) White, John (Paige) White Jr., Skyler White, and Mya White; 12 grandchildren, Michael, Carrissa, Riley, Jordan, Noah, Aina, Adriana, Sebastian, Malachi, Paisley, Daniel, and Sylas; siblings, Trisha F., Robyn, Everette, Aaron, Piffin, and Skip; numerous nieces and nephews; and close friends, Randy Paskins, James Church, and D.J. (Anna) Dearing.

John was preceded in death by his father, Phillip White and grandparents.

There will be a celebration of life held at a future date following cremation. Arrangements are by the Heinlein-Brown Funeral Home of Logan, Ohio.

In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting donations to help with sudden final expenses.
