Family and Friends Family and Friends

To be heard, without saying a word.

To be hugged when I’m feeling blue.

To be understood, when I’m feeling confused.

So rare is a Dad like you.

Your loving smile, and gentle laugh,

make all the difference in my day.

Your endless wisdom, and timeless advice.

Always help me find my way.

In you there is no equal.

You’re in a class all your own.

And because of all the love you give me,

I’ll never be alone.

It’s an honor to know you,

to share stories and dreams.

I always think of you smiling,

no matter how tough life seems.

You’re special beyond compare,

your heart so kind and true,

I wish that everyone on earth could have such a dad like you!

Always, your loving daughter, Kenya

The family of Mr. Jackie E White would like to thank you for all the

prayers and many acts of kindness shown during the passing of their

loved one. May God continue to bless you with his grace and mercy.

“ He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning

or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Revelation 21:4

Mr. Jackie E. White, sometimes known

as “Jack”, departed this life on Friday,

August 4, 2017 at the Palmetto Health

Baptist Hospital. Jackie was born on

March 17, 1959 in Sumter, South

Carolina to the late Thomas Pringle

and the late Rachel White Butler.

Jackie attended the public schools of

Sumter County. He was a proud graduate of Sumter High School’s class of

1978. Following graduation from High School he enlisted in the U.S. Marine

Corps, serving his country from 1978-1982. He went on to receive an

Associate’s degree from the University of Phoenix. Jackie was a hardworking

man, employed by the Dept. of Juvenile Justice, South Carolina Fire Academy,

and recently with Allied Universal security. He loved and took great pride in

cooking and preparing food for anyone who requested his services. He was

best known for his popular “Flap Jack’s Boilin’ Peanuts”.

Jackie had a bright smile that could light up the room. He was a soft spoken

man of few words, who spoke plain and clear but meant everything he said.

He never changed for anyone, so what you saw was what you got. He was

always there for his family and friends ready to help in any way. Even through

his illness he remained high spirited and hardly ever complained about his

pain. To know Jackie was to love him!

Precious memories of Jackie will be cherished by two daughters, Jacqueline

Williams and Kenya Latrice White of Greenwood, South Carolina; three

siblings that reside in Florida; two cousins who were raised like siblings,

Francis Rashell Davis and George Lamont Davis, both of Sumter, South

Carolina; along with many other cousins, loving relatives and dear friends

that are deeply grieved by his passing. He was preceded in death by both of

his parents, two uncles, and three aunts, all of Sumter, South Carolina.
