Jeffery White

Jeffery Allen White was born on July 29, 1965, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Willie White and Mary White. He is the youngest of 7 children. He passed on May 30, 2025, at the age of 59.

His childhood was filled with love and laughter. He often took family trips back to Louisiana, where his parents were from, and made memories with his six older siblings. Being the baby of the bunch did not stop him from being curious and adventurous. He went on to harbor a love for art, music, and playing football, graduating from Omaha North High School in 1985.

In 1995, he married his beautiful, devoted, and praying wife, Emma, creating an unbreakable bond and being the stepfather to Arissa and Tyrone, who brought him sheer joy and happiness. Jeff was a God-fearing man, spreading his testimony far and wide in hopes of encouraging others to have a relationship with God. He started his own design business, selling several shirts with his artwork and logo signs on them.

Jeff befriended many people. He loved the children. He was outgoing yet reserved. He loved drawing and was a professional at every piece of drawing. He loved binge-watching sports of all kinds, and one of his favorite football teams was the Fighting Tigers, Louisiana State University (LSU). Although Jeff liked many colors, his favorite colors were purple and gold. He was an excellent cook and took pride in all he made, whether for a holiday dinner or making cakes for the fun of it.

Jeffery was very tough on the outside yet soft on the inside. He has always been known to have large eyes and a big smile. One of his best qualities was the gift of gab. He could spin a story and make you believe every word that he was saying. He hated to see anyone unhappy or with a frown on their face. Somehow, he would start talking to you, and before you know it, you have forgotten what was bothering you.

Jeffrey leaves behind his beloved wife, stepchildren, grandchildren, and siblings, along with a host of nieces, nephews, and relatives who all love him dearly. He made numerous friends throughout his life and accomplished many things. His infectious laugh, bold personality, and contagious smile will be deeply missed.
