Ronald Neil White peacefully surrendered to the Lord’s will on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at his residence. Although he fought bravely never complaining nor giving up throughout his earthly trial, his family is comforted knowing he is no longer suffering.
Ron was born on September 4, 1974 in Paducah, Kentucky, to the loving union of his parents, Ronald and Lynda White. He was a graduate of Paducah Tilghman High School and later continued his education at West Kentucky Community Technical College. There he obtained an associate’s degree in carpentry and became a master craftsman. He later formed his own business, White Construction Company and was a member of Local #357.
Ron, a dedicated family man, was a great father and grandfather. He was soft-spoken but intentional in his approach to life. He created an atmosphere of emotional safety by encouraging his sons to trust that “your past doesn’t define you. Everyone is capable of change.” He practiced spending quality time with family and insisted on coaching Little League and creating enormous Leggo buildings with his grandchildren even though he was ill.
In his personal relaxation time Ron loved watching crime shows and baseball on television. He loved anything New York, especially the Yankees.
Ron never neglected his spiritual development and was a faithful member of Church of the Living God in Paducah where he was actively involved with the Youth Department. He will join his maternal grandparents, Joseph and Dorothy Lovelace, and his paternal grandparents, Roy and Lola White when he arrives in heaven.
Left behind to cherish precious memories are his Two Sons, Tre’Shaun Malik White of Brookport, IL and Khalil White and family of Metropolis, IL; Two Daughters, I’Keria White and Kemeya White, both of Paducah, Ky; Eleven Grandchildren, Horizon White and Kayson White both of Carbondale, IL, Ivori Flemons, Cairo Flemons and Chrome Flemons, all of Paducah, KY; Arieanna White, Skye Wade, Khalani Ballard, Saint White, Krew White and Willow White; One Brother, Chad (Dawana) White of Paducah; his Parents, Ronald and Lynda White; along with several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Ron will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
