Brian K. White

On Saturday, March 28th, 2026, Brian Keith White of Blackwood New Jersey, unexpectedly passed away at home at the age of 60. Devoted husband of Jennifer White, father to Brian David (Kimberli), Gage Tyler (Vince) and Tanner Christian from Brian’s first marriage.  Loving stepfather, aka Pops, to Aiden and McKenzie DeLaney.   Brother of Barry White, Bradley White, Anthony “Tony” White (Elena) & Gary White (Loren).  Brian was predeceased by his parents David W. White Jr. & Beatrice Mann White along with siblings David “Chucky” White, Forest White, Michael White and Marcus White (Kimberlee).  Brian also leaves behind a multitude of cousins, nieces and nephews.

Brian built a life rooted in kindness, generosity, service, hard work, fun and most importantly, family and faith.  Brian was a graduate of Edgewood High School where he played clarinet in the marching band.  He excelled in playing tennis, going on to be a ball boy for many years at the US Pro Indoor Tennis tournaments held at the Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia.  His professional life gave him the opportunity to do what he loved most; connecting with people. From his early years working alongside his brothers as a manager at McDonald’s, to his time in sales at Burns Honda where he developed a love for cars, to his work with his father in the family business, Wite’s Cleaners.  Brian enjoyed his careers with Verizon and Comcast where he built the foundational relationships with his closest friends.  Brian formed countless friendships along the way and knew someone wherever he went.

Brian was a man of God, with a strong faith in the Lord that he relied upon as his daily guide, always keeping him positive and optomistic. He would play and sing his gospel music with his faith being the foundation upon which he was raised. He was a long time member of St. John’s United Methodist Church in Berlin where he was involved with Church activities, specifically the Fishers of Men, who held fish fry events. He served as a member of the choir and also performed in a musical ministry group, the Anointed Seven.  Brian took the most pride in preparing the music and slides, running the sound & media booth for Sunday service for many years at St. John’s.

While he was grounded in faith, he also knew how to enjoy life to the fullest.  He had  a fun loving spirit, a sense of humor that could sneak up on you (just like his infamously strong Brian White drinks) and a way of making the most ordinary moments feel special.  Whether it was telling stories, talking about his Eagles or Phillies, sharing laughs or just being his genuine self, he left an impression that people will never forget.  He was a friend to many and a source of strength to his family.  Taken too soon, Brian will forever be someone who made the world better simply by being in it.

Brian was involved for years as a board member for Gloucester Township Boys Basketball League and was proud to have coached son’s Brian & Tanner along with stepson Aiden.

During those coaching years, Brian reconnected with the love of his life and soulmate, Jennifer “Jenn” White. They were married in 2019. Carrying on his father, David W. White Jr.’s example of authentic chivalry, Brian made it his mission to give Jenn a life filled with unwavering love, compassion, care and a whole lot of humor.  Together, they prioritized one another while living life to the fullest.  They enjoyed their time at Catelli Duo and Adelphia’s, spontaneous trips to Atlantic City, visiting friends in Wisconsin along with annual Christmases in Cape May.  Their favorite vacations by far were spent in Mexico, where they were engaged in 2018.

Their love was steadfast and held to the highest standard. Jenn and Brian were truly each other’s favorite person, best of friends and chose prioritizing one another every day despite any obstacle.  Brian expressed to Jenn and those closest to him, every chance he had, how fortunate he was to be happy and loved.  Brian and Jenn were so blessed to have shared a love that many people go a lifetime without and those memories will forever be cherished.

Brian leaves behind more than memories; he leaves behind a way of being—one most evident in his greatest work, his children: Brian, Gage & Tanner whom have grown to be amazing, impressive men. Brian also had an integral part in guiding and instilling values as a stepfather to Aiden and McKenzie who fondly called him “Pops”. Brian also shared a very sepcial bond with his mother in law Judy, whom he cared selflessly for like his own mother.  Together with Jenn, he built a home centered on love, laughter, amazing food (which always included several breakfast meats), music and lightness. Brian’s life lessons will forever be reflected in his children.

Brian so enjoyed his love filled, yet competitive relationship with his brothers.  There was continual banter mixed with smack talk, sports rivalries, constant jokes, movie going, unwavering support, comparison of cake making and endless talk about who had the best recipes or dishes at the multitude of infamous Holiday events. If you are blessed to know the White’s, you know there is no greater example of a family filled with love. There will forever be a void of light at future gatherings.

From his joyful laugh, jovial personality and larger-than-life smile with those dimples, Brian had a presence that uplifted everyone around him. He was always the one to put others before himself and the house consistently echoed with laughter and his singing. In both big ways and small, he made people feel seen, cared for (you never had an empty glass or touched a door handle in his presence), and never felt alone. His life serves as a powerful reminder to be kind, to care deeply, check on those you love and to find joy in just the beauty every day has to offer. He thanked the Lord each night for a good day before laying his head down to sleep.  He made it his mission to frequently remind those around him how much they were loved. That kind of presence cannot be replaced, but should be an example of how life should be lived, cherishing every moment.

All are welcome to attend services to honor Brian on Thursday, April 9, 2026 at Paris Caterers 281 Cross Keys Rd., Berlin, NJ 08009.  Visitation will be from 4 pm – 6 pm with a celebration of life ceremony immediately following.

***A private event will be held in the future to celebrate the man that meant so much to so many.
