Vernon White Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Harrington Family Funeral Services - Waycross on Feb. 5, 2026.
Vernon White, Jr., affectionately known as "Bobbie," was born in Waycross, Georgia, on January 27, 1967, to the late Mary S. White and Vernon White, Sr. He received his education through the Ware County School System. He was proudly a Bullpup and a Bulldog and had a deep love for football. He was a fan of the Ware County Gators (high school), the Georgia Bulldogs, and the Dallas Cowboys, and he always supported his Ware County Gators.

Vernon was loving, caring, and supportive. He loved his family, especially his nieces and nephews. Whenever you saw him, he had that big Kool-Aid smile on his face - and you were going to smell his cologne before he reached you. He loved his sunglasses and always took pride in how he carried himself.

If you were a woman, you were likely to be greeted with "Hello, beautiful," followed by a hug and a kiss on the cheek. And before leaving your presence, he was going to witness about the Lord. He loved reading his Bible and spending time with the Lord. He also enjoyed playing cards with his homeboys.

He leaves to cherish his memories, three sisters: Catherine White, Ilya Corbin (Preston), and Kimberly Rivers (Lorenzo); one brother, Kenneth Studivent; one uncle, Moses Studivent, Sr.; and a host of cousins and friends; special friends: Maureen Rankins, Marcus Martin, Sr., Nemi Hightower, Fred Dixon, Mary Lawrence, Lollie Carr, Charles Mathis, Jimmy Milton, Deacon Carr, and Minister Tom.
