Robert J. White

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Robert John “RJ” White, a cherished husband, devoted father, loving grandfather, and dear brother, who left this world on April 9th, 2025 at the age of 72. RJ was a remarkable man whose spirit touched the lives of everyone he met.

Born on February 23rd, 1953 RJ found joy and solace through his unwavering devotion to his loving wife, Patrice. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with laughter, joy, and a shared love for family where they raised their five wonderful children, and doted on their two beautiful grandchildren.

A proud veteran, RJ served his country with honor and pride, embodying the ideals of bravery and resilience. His military service not only shaped him as a man but also instilled in him values of integrity and commitment that he carried throughout his life.

RJ was also an unwavering fan of the Cleveland Browns. He spent countless Sundays cheering them on, filled with hope and anticipation for the day they would finally claim a Super Bowl victory. His enthusiasm was infectious, bringing family and friends together in spirited gatherings, filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the occasional debate over game plays and team rosters.

RJ was preceded in death by his parents, Robert S. and Dorothy White, and sisters Sharon Edwards (nee White) and Trish Wood (nee White). He is survived by his loving wife, Patrice (nee Parke); his children, daughters Jennifer (Jason Hertzig) Pintiello, Sarah (Nathan) Haas, Jessica Pintiello, and Rebecca (Tom) Bilodeau, son James Pintiello; his grandchildren, Madison and Parker Rhodes; sister-in-law Sherry Aurand (Parke); and his siblings, Jim White, Nancy McGee (White), and Margie Curry (White). He is also survived by a host of extended family and friends whose lives he touched with his warmth and generosity.

As we say goodbye to a remarkable man, we take comfort in knowing that RJ White will forever remain in our hearts, a guiding star illuminating our paths with love and inspiration. In accordance with his wishes, there will be no formal service. Instead, we encourage all who wish to honor his memory to contribute to the Parkinson’s Foundation or the Michael J. Fox Foundation, both of which were causes close to his heart.
