Kenny White, age 65

Kenny White, 65, of Mabelvale, Arkansas, passed away, June 9, 2022.  He was born in Batesville, Arkansas on October 8, 1956 to Margret and Elmer “Son” White. He was a husband, father, brother and friend to many, but the role he cherished the most was that of Pappaw to his 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He was gifted with the ability to work on anything mechanical and enjoyed the challenge and satisfaction of doing this work. He married the love of his life, Janie, on December 14, 1979. Kenny took on the roll of family photographer and enjoyed snapping pictures at family events and holidays. Kenny’s greatest joy came from spending time with family and friends. He loved being outdoors and often spent time fishing and boating at nearby lakes. He was the master griller of the family and no one was better at cooking up a fish fry for a huge gathering. He was greatly loved and will be equally missed!

Kenny was preceded in death by his parents, Elmer “Son” White and Margret White; his siblings, Junior, Bob and Delbert White. 

Kenny is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Janie as well as his children, Erica (Robert) Jensen, Denise Pearson and April (Jason) Hawkins; his grandchildren, Devin (Ashley) Pearson, Caimen Fitzpatrick, Cedric Pearson, Clementine Jensen, Shelby Jensen, Granger Pearson and Kylan Fitzpatrick; his great-grandchildren, Eliza and Boston Pearson; and his siblings, Dexter (Linda) White; Darrell White, Kathern Fisher, Wanda Aldrich, Debra Martinez, Shirley Anderson, and Edie Moss

A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date. Please watch for an announcement by the family, who look forward to gathering with all who loved him and are able to attend. 

Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society.
