Obituary For Ronald White

Ronald White, age 70, passed away November 14, 2022 at his daughter's home in Lithia, FL, under the gentle care of Lifepath Hospice. Ron was born May 18, 1952 in Los Angeles, CA to Rose and James White. He graduated from John C. Fremont High School and attended California State University at Northridge. During his working years, Ron worked as a scenic artist at NBC Studios in Burbank, CA. He relocated to Lithonia, GA in 1994. He was a member of the First Afrikan Church in Lithonia under Pastor Mark Lomax. Ron always had a smile to share. He was amicable, kind, and easily amused. He loved the beach, was an avid tennis player and was a fan of basketball, especially the LA Lakers. He also enjoyed Wednesday Wind Downs in the "Southwest Corner" of Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. His family and friends will miss him dearly and remember him fondly. Ron is preceded in death by his parents, his son, Cheo White, and his partner, Bruce Veasey. He is survived by his daughter, Maisha White Diffenderfer and son-in-law, Boe Diffenderfer; twin grandchildren, Nyla and Lowen Diffenderfer; Ayinde Bryant; sisters: Arma "Bobbie" Reddix, Melba Homes, Merdis Whitney, Makia White, Naima White, and Cheyneitha Fountain; brothers: Harith White, Clifford White, and Calvin White; dear friend and mother of his children, Claudia Bryant; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and amazing friends from coast to coast. Services for Ron will be held in early 2023 in Atlanta, GA. Arrangements for Ron's cremation have been entrusted to International Cremation Services.

    Love you my brother, I miss your amazing, artistic, excellence. Now, paint the sky big bro, and I'll be watching always looking up to you, though a brother's eyes, the saturation in the clouds, the sketches in the sun rays, and the strokes from the raindrops falling, always connecting us, I'll be watching for your paint brush, through a brother's eyes.

    Ron, I miss you so much! So glad you are no longer suffering. I only wish I could have held you close one more time. You will always be the leader of the "club" lol!- and my big brother. I have such joyful memories of us growing up. The laughter, dancing and singing. Those good old days in the neighborhood (smiles). These thoughts always lightens my heart. See you on the other side, my best friend. I will never, ever forget how you made me feel when we were together. In the month of may, we will be the same age for five days, and nothing can ever take that away. Love you Always Kia
