Mr. Alfred Landon White Sr., 85, passed away on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. He was born on January 17, 1939, in Sparta, Tennessee, to Benjamin Harrison White and Lillie Jewel Prince.
He served his country as a Staff Sergeant in The United States Air Force from 1959-1967. Growing up on a farm, Alfred learned to be a jack of all trades.

He worked at Frito Lay in Jackson as a plant technician, at Magnatech for ten years, then at Seimens, and retired at seventy-two as a tower technician for T Mobile. He enjoyed gardening, working his sawmill, and getting things done on his tractor. He loved his family, and spending time with them was one of his greatest joys.

He is survived by his sons Alfred L. White Jr. and Scott White; daughter Lisa Lewis (Danny); sister Catherine Cantrell; granddaughter Reagan Lewis; numerous nephews, nieces, and many friends that he met during his lifetime.
