Losson K. White

November 1, 2009

Losson K. White, age 77, having fought the good fight and keeping the faith, was called home on October 30, 2009. He graduated in 1950 from Ernest Ward High School at Walnut Hill, Florida. The class motto, ‘Not merely to exist, but to amount to something in Life’ was captured completely during his earthly time.

He was born to Roy and Lanie White in Byrneville, Florida on February 24, 1932. He attained everything in this life he desired. He was of the Baptist Faith, a member of The Masonic Temple and The Shriner Organization. He served his community in various leadership roles between 1977 and the present.

Losson married his wife of 58 years on June 26, 1951, retired after proudly serving his country for 27 years in the Air Force as a CMSGT from 1950 through 1977. Losson and Bobbie have two children, Kenneth and Lori White, and Glenda and Donald Butler, six grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, one brother, three brother-in-laws, two sisters-in-law, eight nieces and nephews, friends too numerous to count and his church family.

Funeral services will be held at 8:00 am on Monday, November 2, 2009 at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North-Cantonment with the Rev. Ted Bridges officiating. Interment will follow at Barrancas National Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be grandsons, David Haid, John Haid, Losson White, Greg Haid, and nephews, Chad and Wade Kent. Honorary pallbearers will be Darrel White, Hal O’Farrell, Jerry Kent, Ellis O’Farrell, Ernie Hester, Billy Ward and Freddie Pitt.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Sunday, November 1, 2009 from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm.

The family requests no flowers; however, memorials may be made to the Shriners Hospital or Covenant Hospice.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the nurses and doctors at West Florida Hospital and Covenant Hospice that provided our husband and dad the special care needed during this time of illness. Manda Clarke, the only granddaughter was instrumental in his care and guidance during the final stages of his illness.

Faith Chapel Funeral Home North , 1000 Highway 29 South, Cantonment is in charge of arrangements.
