Please join our family in prayer and celebration of the life of Charles D. White. Charlie left this world to go home to our Lord on the afternoon of May 9, 2020 at Covenant Hospital ending his battle with cancer. He was born in Lubbock October 20, 1955 to Charles D. White and Sallie VanNess White. Charlie spent most of his life in Midland, Texas. He enlisted in the Marines in 1973. He was sent to Vietnam and was involved in the evacuation and tours in Okinawa, Philippines, Grenada, Japan, China. At one point he worked with mules which began his lifelong love of mules.How can one describe Charlie? Hard to do but here is what comes to us; Marine to the core, local business owner thirty plus years and a dying breed of machinist, jack of all trades master of a few, expert deer slayer, horse whisperer and trader, master of practical jokes, and the list goes on. He was also the kind of guy that was a silent giver, never taking credit for his selfless efforts. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and the list goes on. Charlie is greatly loved by all those who are close to him. He was a major contributor to the overall flavor of our family. Irreplaceable, truly one of a kind. Our hearts hurt from his absence.Charlie is preceded in death by his parents and brother Danny White. He is survived by wife, Virginia White; sister, Lela Hunt and husband Donald; brother, David White and wife Lynette; daughters, Shannon Mihalic and husband Jon, Tatum White, Haley Guiseppe and husband Al, Ivy Brice, Valerie Stanley and husband Ryan; sons, Krys Compton and Justin Compton.
