Mark Stephen White

Posted on September 15, 2021

Mark Stephen White Heaven gained an angel, as God opened the gates to eternal life and peace on Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021, for Mark Stephen White, born Jan. 9, 1957. He was preceded in death by his dad, Jessie, and his brother, Paul. He leaves behind his mom, Polly, and brothers, Stanley and David, as well as many loving relatives and friends. Mark attended school in Homestead. He was a carpenter by trade, but was adept at welding and other trades. He was a very humble, kind-hearted soul who was always ready to lend a hand when needed. He had a wry sense of humor. Mark loved playing music with his brothers and maternal grandmom, who was instrumental in teaching him the love of music, especially country and bluegrass. He also loved the outdoors, fishing and hunting with family and friends on many trips. He was an organ donor and became a recipient in 2000. We were blessed with 21 more years with his presence. Tenacious to the end, he didn’t give up easily on a job nor in life. You could see him with his dog, “Lady,” wherever he went. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends. Privates services will be held at a later date in accordance with his family’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, please consider becoming an organ donor. Beggs Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
