Christopher A White

Christopher “Chris” Allen White, affectionately known as “Tre,” passed away on Friday, September 6, 2024, at the age of 52. Born on April 30, 1972, in Columbus, Ohio. Chris was the beloved son of William White Sr. and Margaret Lett-Jones, who survive him.

He is also survived by his sons, Yani M. White and Jalen C. White; his daughter, Brianna D. Mossman (Joshua); and his granddaughter, Zella R. Mossman. Also left to mourn his passing are his brothers, Jawwad Mujahid and Brian Welch; his sister-in-law, Melissa Garnes-White; his nephews, Mason Jordan and Demetrius Garnes; his niece, Keyawna White; his former wife of 13 years, Cherie M. White, and host of aunts, uncles and cousins. Chris was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Brianna R. White, and his brother, William “Bill” White Jr.

Chris was a 1990 graduate of Jackson High School and proudly served his country as a U.S. Army veteran. For over 20 years, he was a devoted member of the Rare Blood MCC, where he formed countless friendships and bonds. Chris embraced his Native American heritage with great pride, honoring his spirit name "Soaring Eagle," a powerful symbol of strength, courage, and freedom that reflected his own character and indomitable spirit. Chris was truly a "jack of all trades," with a remarkable ability to solve any problem that came his way. His charisma, humor, and infectious spirit earned him the nickname “Party,” as he brightened every room he entered. In his own spirited way, Chris would leave us with one final cheer: “Go Steelers!”

Chris will be profoundly missed by his family and all who were blessed to know him.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, September 18, at Tobias Funeral Home, 3970 Dayton – Xenia Road, beginning at 12:00 p.m., with funeral services to follow at 2:00 p.m.
