He worked
as a laborer, and in retail. Thomas held an amazing, deep love for his family, a commitment to protect, encourage, and empower his family to be our best. He many times liked to joke, never a complainer, and compassionate; Thomas was always a joy to be with. He brought the holiday spirit into the room, no matter what the season. Thomas Earl White was a soldier in his own right. He fought many battles, quietly and with grace. He was loved immensely by his family, he always made it his business to call,

Just a few months before his passing, he called two of his nieces, allowing the LORD to prepare his soul for exiting a world not good enough to hold him, and on the day, he heard the trumpet call of God beckoning
his soul's rest, he responded.
