Obituary for Robert Leroy White

Robert Leroy White
(1959-2014)
Beloved Child of God, Son, Brother, Uncle, Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Friend Robert Leroy White, went to be with his Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ on Monday June 23rd at Swedish Medical Center in Edmonds, WA surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Bob was born to Alvie Leroy White and Andrea Coleman in Oklahoma City, OK. He was raised in Oak Harbor from the age of 4, graduating from Oak Harbor High School in 1977 where he participated in multiple sports and activities. He was an honorable veteran, serving in the United States Army after high school. Returning to Oak Harbor to start a family, he became a remarkable community leader and was extremely involved as a truly inspirational Football and Baseball coach for the city leagues. Bob also was an active actor in his time and a church member and volunteer.

Bob enjoyed spending his time fishing, camping, hunting, rock hounding and hiking with his family and friends. He was an avid outdoorsman, a true “mountain man”. When he found time to relax he was always reading a good book or outside gardening and bird watching (when he wasn’t dreaming of owning a Harley). Not only was he a wonderful man, he was a dedicated husband and father.

He is survived by his wife, Valerie, his children; Lauren O’Brien, Jordan White, Kasey White and Logan White; his two grandchildren Owen O’Brien and Olivia O’Brien; his mother, Andrea Coleman White; his sisters, Terral Adams, Teresa White, Dulcey Whyte and LeeAnn Mozes; five nieces and nephews; grandparents; Robert and Nell Coleman; his Uncle Charles White and various other loving relatives in his native Oklahoma.

He will be remembered always and missed dearly by all. He is at peace in Heaven and forever in our hearts. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, June 28, 2014, 1:00 PM at Bowman Bay Shelter S-5 at Deception Pass State Park, followed by a barbecue reception. Memorials are suggested to the Swedish Organ Transplant Clinic, 1101 Madison St., Seattle, WA 98104. Family and friends are encouraged to share memories and condolences at www.whidbeymemorial.com.
