John David White Sr., of Effingham, NH, died unexpectedly on June 12,2022 at the age of 59. 

John was born on March 29,1963 in Danvers, Massachusetts to Diane and Kenneth White. His family relocated to New Hampshire during his childhood. He spent many years of his life in both New Hampshire and Mississippi.  In 1984, in New Hampshire, he met his beloved wife Valerie and they married in 1992. Throughout his life, John found ways to work with his hands in the automotive, carpentry, and landscape fields. His meticulousness in his work always allowed it to shine.  Often when working around the house he could be found listening to a varied mix of music ranging from Kid Rock to AC/DC.  He was a joker, always looking for ways to get a reaction from those around him. He taught his children the value of hard work, courage, and good judgement.

 John is preceded in death by his brother Kenneth White Jr, his mother Diane, and father Kenneth Sr.

 John is survived by his wife Valerie; His siblings Robert and Wayne;

His son John and his wife Alisha, daughter Brittany and her husband Chris, daughter Shacha and her partner Darrion, and son Nicholas and his wife Katie.
