Christopher Allen White

July 17, 1971 - September 2, 2018

Albany- It's with profound sadness that we mourn the sudden death of our beloved brother, Christopher Allen White, on Sunday, September 2, 2018. He lived a challenging life being born with Spina Bifida and losing his leg to infection at 16. However, his life was not defined by these hardships, but rather by how he overcame them. He put himself through college and went to work immediately upon graduation at Davis Vision. He was passionate about his work and loved his family of co-workers. He adored nature, gardening, reading and gourmet cooking. He made friends quickly and celebrated life like no other. Chris taught us how to be strong, how to ignore the small stuff and how to keep moving forward. He gave so much more then he took, and, in the end, he was granted a peaceful death surrounded by the love of family. He is survived by his adoring siblings: Cathy Mota, Melissa Marici, Larry LaRose, Patty LaRose and Tommy LaRose, his "other brothers" Juan Mota and Kenneth Marici - in addition to 10 beautiful nieces and nephews. Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Chris’s family on Saturday, September 8, 2018 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm in the McVeigh Funeral Home, 208 North Allen Street, Albany. A Memorial Service honoring Chris’s life will immediately follow at 7:00 pm.
