Leon White was born on April 11, 1957 in Sardis, MS. He was the son of The Late Connell M. White Sr. and Thelma Avant White. He confessed a hope in Christ at an early age at Harrisonville MB Church. Leon later re-dedicated his life and became a Jr. Deacon, Mass Choir Member, Mission Worker, and Brotherhood Male Choir Member. He was dedicated until his death. He had a love for God, his family, and his church family.

Leon attended the Lafayette County School District where he remain friends with many of his classmates and built strong relationships with his former teachers. Leon worked for many years at the Oxford School District driving for the Transportation Department and working as a Maintenance Worker until his health declined. He was respected by many of the Oxford School District Staff and students. He will always be remembered as the bus driver who took care of his students and treated them as his own. After Leon left the Oxford School District he did small jobs when his health permitted him.

He was united in holy matrimony to Vicky Price and to this union three children were born. He enjoyed watching wrestling, working on antique cars, helping the elderly, watching Street Outlaw Racing, and just lending a helping hand to anyone in need. He will be missed by his family, friends and all who loved him.

On Sunday, December 20, 2020 at Baptist Memorial Hospital-North MS, a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, committed church member, and friend's heart slowly stopped and ascended back to The Lord.

Leon was preceded in death by his son, Derrick A. White, his brothers John W. White, James Y. White Sr. , and his baby brother Charles E. White who was stillborn.
