The Jacksonville College family is mourning the loss of a beloved member of our community, David White.
A 1974 Jacksonville College graduate, David returned to JC after a long career in public education. He spent many years on our campus working in housing, but his impact extended far beyond that role. David invested in students, offering guidance and encouragement to dozens of young people during their time at Jacksonville College. David had a particular heart for our international students and was a welcoming and caring presence for those who were far from their own families.
While we mourn his passing, we rejoice in his homegoing and give thanks for the life he shared with our Jacksonville College family. We pray for God’s comfort and peace for David’s family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.
A funeral service celebrating the life of David White will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12, at 10:00 a.m. at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Jacksonville. Visitation will begin at 9:00 a.m., one hour prior to the service.
