Obituary

William (Bill) Richard White, age 91, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2026. He was born on September 12, 1934, in Youngstown, Ohio, to David and Mary White.

Bill was preceded in death by his beloved parents, David and Mary; his siblings, Robert White, Jean Bartholomew, and Kay Usher; his grandchildren, Gwendolyn and Margaret Knupp; and his son-in-law, Robert Knupp.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Helen Childs Kyle White; his son, Adam (Leigh Ann) White; his stepchildren, Jason (Laura) Kyle and Anita Kyle Knupp; his cherished grandchildren, Liam, Aiden, and Brynleigh White; Zachary Kyle; Albany Kyle; Madison (CJ) Pugh; and Stephen Knupp; as well as his treasured great-grandchildren, Lane and Adler.

Bill proudly served his country in the United States Army and later with the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Following his years of military service, he pursued higher education and earned a Master's Degree in Merchandising from New York University. He went on to build a successful career in the oil and gas industry, working as a Landman.

A constant and guiding force in Bill's life was his deep love for the Lord. He faithfully shared his faith with others through active service in his church community. He also served compassionately as a chaplain at local nursing homes and hospitals, bringing comfort and encouragement to many.

Bill had a deep interest in current events and rarely missed an opportunity to watch Fox News, staying informed and sharing his perspectives with those around him. He also greatly enjoyed the traditions and excitement of the Kentucky Derby each year and looked forward to watching college football, cheering enthusiastically and enjoying the camaraderie the games brought.

Above all else, Bill loved his family deeply. He found immense joy in watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow, and he treasured every moment spent with them. His legacy of faith, service, strong convictions, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
