In Loving Memory of James Anthony “Tony” White

It is with deep respect and heartfelt admiration that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, James Anthony White.

Surrounded by his devoted wife of 45 years, Susan Cantrell White, and his children—Lindley Carpenter (Clay), Austin White (Mallory Hopper White), Lincoln White, Ian White (Kassi Austin White), and Spencer Terry (Blake)—Tony was called home to his Heavenly Father at the age of 68.

A successful business owner, loving father, and loyal friend, Tony was preceded in death by his parents, James Archie and Eleanor Blanche White, and his sisters, Carolyn Majkrzak and Eleanor White.

He leaves behind his cherished wife, Susan; his 5 children and their spouses; 17 beloved grandchildren; his sister, Marilyn White Traini (John) of Hershey, PA; and many treasured nieces and nephews.

Tony was a man of integrity, kindness, and unwavering faith. To those who knew him, he left a lasting impression as a thoughtful and upright follower of Christ. His gentle spirit and strong moral character defined his life.

Born and raised in Memphis, TN, Tony touched countless lives through his lifelong work as a commercial sign and graphics producer, and most importantly, as a remarkable family man.

Tony’s love, generosity, and devotion to his family will continue to live on through his wife, children, and grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, memorials or gifts can be made in Tony's honor to Homes for Troops or St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. 

Funeral services will be held at the Henderson Church of Christ in Henderson, TN on Saturday, July 12, at 11:00 AM with a private burial to follow at White Family Cemetery.

The family will receive friends on Friday, July 11, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Shackelford Funeral Directors – Crook Avenue and then from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM Saturday at the Henderson Church of Christ.
