Kim White Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sliefert Funeral Home - Sioux Rapids on Jan. 27, 2026.
Kim Francis White, age 70, of Pocahontas, Iowa died January 26, 2026 at Pocahontas County Hospital.

Funeral services will take place Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at Sliefert Funeral Home in Sioux Rapids. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at the funeral home in SIOUX RAPIDS. Burial will be at a later date in Oakhill Cemetery in Cherokee. The Sliefert Funeral Home in Sioux Rapids is in charge of the arrangements.

Kim was born July 21, 1955, the son of Elwin and Marjorie (Duvall) White in Cherokee, Iowa. He attended school in Sioux Rapids. After graduating, Kim went on to attend college in Fort Dodge, Iowa, graduating with a degree in Computer Programming.

For those of you who knew Kim - "Whitey" to so many of you did - you know he carried a stubborn streak that made him unforgettable, yet his compassion ran just as deep. He loved to tinker, always fixing something, always lending a hand where he could. His passion for hot rods and motorcycles fueled that tinkering spirit, giving him endless projects and even more joy. His greatest pride came from the people he loved, especially his nieces, nephews, and grandchildren, who brought out the softest parts of his heart. Kim cherished time fishing with his father, then in later years with his son and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Left to cherish his memory include his children: Shane White of Mesa, Arizona; Heather White of Mesa, Arizona; Kerrie (Luke Drudik) White of Stamford, Nebraska; brother: Richard White; sister: Loranne Crapser; grandchildren: Brittney (Alex) Rosado; Brenden (Kenz) White; Gerardo Morales; Mason Morales; Phoenix Morales; Ashton White; Westin White; Daxtin White; great-grandchildren: Mila-Grace, Maverick, and Mackoy Rosado; Hudson and Hayden Lode; sister-in-law: Charlotte White of Georgia; extended family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Elwin White; mother: Marge Foster; siblings: Jolene (Frank) Pheleps; Robert (Connie) White; and Lee White.

If you would like to share a memory, a note of comfort, or a card for the family, they may be mailed to: Kerrie White 43577 Road 709 Stamford, NE 68977. Your kindness, support, and love during this time mean more than words can express.
