James E. White

Rouge, Louisiana to Edward Ross White and Lucille Epperson White. Dr. White graduated

from Baker High School in 1981, obtained his B.S. in science in 1970, and his M.D. in 1973

from LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. He was board certified in Internal Medicine,

Allergy and Immunology, and Anesthesia, and was passionate about the practice of

medicine and the care of his patients, many of whom eventually became close friends. He

also enjoyed bringing his skills and knowledge to medically underserved communities in

Guatemala, and treasured the knowledge that he could make a positive difference in his

patients’ lives. He loved to travel and often took his family and friends on vacations around

the world. His favorite destinations included the Rocky Mountains, the Virgin Islands and

Europe. He was an avid sailor, and adored taking family and friends for day-trips and trips

along the coast on his sailboat. In his later years, he enjoyed many fishing trips in the Gulf of

Mexico with close friends. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Anita, and his three

daughters, Cathy Canty of Twin Falls, Idaho, Christine White of New Orleans, Jamie Davison

of Birmingham, Alabama, and grandson, Dylan Canty. Particular thanks to The Claiborne

Senior Living Facility in Baton Rouge. A visitation will be held on Saturday, November 11th

at Rabenhorst Funeral Home (825 Government Street) from 9 am to 11:30 am with a brief

service to follow at 11:30 am.

If there’s another world, he lives in bliss

If not, he made the best of this.

-Dr. James White
