Joshua Paul White, 45, passed away on August 13, 2026 leaving behind a lifetime of memories, adventures, and the people and animals he loved dearly. He was born on December 3, 1980, in Michigan to Betty and Jerry White.

Joshua had a deep love for the outdoors and lived life with a true sense of adventure. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and hiker, happiest when he was outside exploring, discovering new places, and experiencing something new. Adventure was a part of who he was, and he was always dreaming about the next place he would go and the next trail he would explore.

Joshua will be deeply missed by his beloved daughter, Samantha; his mother, Betty White; his brothers, Jeremy (Lisa)White, Jerry White, Jim, and Milo; his sister, Barbara; and his many family members, cousins, and friends who shared his life and adventures.

One of Joshua’s greatest loves was his dogs. They were not simply pets to him, but cherished companions and an important part of his life. He leaves behind two beloved dogs, Bentley and Bellaboo, who will surely feel his absence.

He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry White; his brother, Mark White; and his sister, Chris.

Joshua leaves behind stories that will be told, places that will always remind others of him, and memories of the adventures he shared with those he loved. May he finally find the peace that his mind so often struggled to give him and may those who loved him remember not only how he left this world, but the man he was—the son, father, brother, cousin, friend, adventurer, outdoorsman, and dog lover who will never be forgotten.

A celebration of Joshua’s life will be held at a later date, allowing family and friends to come together to honor and remember him. The date and details are still being determined and will be shared when arrangements are complete.
