A.J. White, 23, of Cleveland, Tennessee, passed away on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 at Erlanger Hospital.
He was born on Sept. 3, 1991. A.J. was a Christian and a family man. He loved his boys more than anything in the world. He was constantly making people laugh, was remembered by his bear hugs, and never ended a conversation without “I Love You”. A memory of his words was “it is what it is, till it aint”. He was a former Bradley County “Bear” Football player for five years because he was asked as an eighth grader to play. He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing basketball, but his passion was for football.
A.J. was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents.
A.J. is survived by his father, Allan White II and his wife Angela; his mother, Marline White; his three sons, Maddix, Bryson, and A.J. White; one brother, Matthew White; three sisters, Marilyn Stokes and husband Matthew Gentry, Angela Gibson and husband Eric and Anna Holmes; three nephews, Jordan Stokes, Tanner Gentry and Tyler Gibson; one niece, Rica Gibson; an aunt, Jeannette; paternal grandparents; and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.
A visitation will be held from 6-7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 1 with service to follow at 7 p.m. at Companion Funeral Home located at 2415 Georgetown RD NW, Cleveland, TN.
