Mr. White, age 61, of Pollock, Louisiana passed from this life surrounded by his loved ones on Friday, February 25, 2022 at Rapides Regional Medical Center.
Bryan was born the second of twins in Jonesville, Louisiana, September 17, 1960 in a country doctor’s office and was a long-time resident of Pollock, Louisiana. He was an amazing Brother, Husband, Father, and PawPaw who loved big and wasn’t afraid to show it with bear hugs and kisses. He had a deep infectious laugh that would fill your heart and often make you blush. His sense of humor could definitely be a bit risqué; he knew how to keep you on your toes. Bryan retired in 2015 from his career in Oilfield Production and devoted his time to spoiling his grand babies; he loved being a PawPaw. Bryan was an outdoorsman to the core. Whether he was hunting, fishing, camping, 4-wheeler riding, or boating, as long as he was sharing it with his loved ones, he was in his element. Mostly, he enjoyed riding his motorcycle. The wind in his face on a curvy country road brought him peace and perspective. Some of the best memories he and his wife shared were in Tennessee, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Arkansas on the back of that bike. Bryan was an incredibly hard worker who believed in finishing what he started, a trait he took pride instilling into his boys. Above all, he was an amazingly loving and devoted husband. Bryan loved life and lived it to the fullest; he will leave behind an unfulfillable void in those who knew and loved him.
He is preceded in death and reunited with his parents Lloyd B. and Ellen Jane Nichols White and his mother-in-law Sandra K. Clinton.
Those left behind to cherish his memory include his wife, companion, and best friend Kara White; his sons Christopher Bryan White and wife Camille of Woodworth, Lloyd Brantley White and his wife Krysta of Dry Prong, and William Andrew White and his wife Jamie of Pollock; his twin brother Barry White and his wife Lydia of Marksville; his sisters Joanie Sandell of Jonesville and Amy Mizell and her husband Lee of Harrisonburg; six grandchildren Caroline, Ryan Alyse, Charlie, Cohen, Scarlett, and AndiBeth; brother-in-laws Scott Clinton of Dallas, Mike Clinton of Pollock, and Patrick Clinton of Nashville; plus a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Pallbearers honored to serve will be his sons Chris, Brantley, and Andrew; his brother-in-law Lee Mizell, as well as his nephews Jonathan White and Adam Sandell.
Honorary pallbearers will be his grandsons Charlie White and Cohen White, as well as his nephew Eli Lavoie.
A Simple Man, he was and a Simple Man, forever he will be.
