Ricky White left this life Monday, October 5, 2015, at UAB Hospital after battling pancreatic cancer since July 2015. He was surrounded by his loving family and passed peacefully at the hand of his Heavenly Father. Ricky was born June 3, 1956 to Red and June White in Brewton, Alabama.

Shortly after, he married Sheila, his high school sweetheart and they began their family with the addition of their precious daughter, Toni. He worked for 21 years at Crestview Lumber/Ace Hardware, where he made countless friends and gained the respect from our community. Then took a job in Fiber Design working with his brothers. Later he traveled independently with his friend Doug, walking railroad tracks and measuring routes for Fiber placement. Next, Ricky and Sheila traveled with a large sign company and worked together as installers for SunGroup. In 2004, Ricky came home to start his lawn care business.
Ricky would want his hometown community to know how much he loved and appreciated all the support that was shown to him throughout his life, especially in the past few months. His life was good and full of love, all because of those that shared it with him.
