In Memory
Charles Richard White
January 26, 1943 - November 1, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Chuck White, a beloved husband, father, and friend, who left us peacefully at the age of 81. Chuck was a man who embraced life with enthusiasm, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he encountered.
Born with a generous spirit on January 26, 1943, to Charles William & Phyllis Lavern (Edwards) White in South Bend, Indiana, Chuck was known for his caring nature and his ability to light up any room with his infectious laughter. He was not only a successful businessman, but also a pillar of ethics and integrity in his professional and personal life. Chuck's intelligence and wisdom guided many, and he took great joy in mentoring others.
A passionate lover of music, Chuck found immense joy in the tunes of Elvis Presley and Jimmy Buffett. His affinity for music was evident in his lively personality, and he often entertained friends and family by dressing up as Elvis, bringing laughter and joy to every gathering. Whether he was hosting a party or enjoying a serene day on the lake, Chuck was the life of the party, always ready with a joke or a story.
Chuck's love for the outdoors and boating was matched only by his dedication to family and friends. Many cherished memories were made on the lakes he adored, where he shared his love for adventure and the great outdoors. His kindness and generosity extended beyond his immediate circle; he was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need.
A proud veteran of the Air Force, Chuck served his country with honor, and his patriotism remained a core part of his identity.
Chuck leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. He is survived by his devoted wife, loving children, and countless friends who will forever cherish the time they spent with him.
Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Larry White, and his daughter Ann Thornton.
Chuck is survived by his Wife Jo Ann White, his Children; Bobbi White Carper, Cindy Davy, Lisa Lemke, and Larry Lemke, his sister Peggy Shaffer, his sister-in-law Sue White, 13 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
