James Alan White, 61 unexpectedly passed away at his home on Tuesday, December 20, 2022.  He had been bravely battling cancer.

James Alan White was born September 20, 1961, to James Robert "Charlie" White and Anna Mae (Scroggins) White in Oklahoma City.  James was the oldest of two boys and was quick to defend is younger brother Russell.  However, he also shared a brotherly bond with his 3-month younger cousin Jeff White.  James grew up in Blanchard and graduated from Blanchard High School.  James has two sons, Nicholas and Dustin.  When Nick and Dustin were growing up, James always took them to playgrounds to enjoy the outdoors and probably get some of their little boy energy out. He loved spending time with them and taking them to Home Depot or Lowe's. As the boys grew up James was at their basketball games and supporting his boys in their activities.  He was extremely proud of his boys.

James recently medically retired from Matador Foods where he had been employed most of his working career.  He was known as the quiet keep to yourself "perfect" attendance guy at work.  James was an artist, he enjoyed drawing and sketching.  He loved the outdoors, you could always find him outside gardening or thinking about gardening, woodworking, tinkering with his truck, or refurbishing old, historical firearms.  James could best be described as a quiet, soft-spoken man, who didn't enjoy the spotlight, but deeply cared for his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; Anna Mae (Scroggins) White; James Robert "Charlie" White; grandmother; Evelyn Scroggins; aunts Wanda White and Joyce Scroggins; and uncle, Kenny Scroggins.  James is survived by his two sons; Nicholas White and wife, Mary Alice of Idyllwild, California and Dustin White of Chickasha; six granddaughters; Zaylie Jo White of Chickasha, Taylynn Ava White, Paizlee Colleen White and Annabelle Mya Ridge all of Idyllwild, California, Abbigail Fai White, and Addilynn Mae White both of Chickasha, Oklahoma; brother, Russell White and his wife, Johnna of Piedmont; and many more loving family members and friends.
