WHITE, James Henry

Legacy.com Posted: Wednesday, February 5, 2014 James Henry White, 64, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Jan. 9 at Good Samaritan Hospital as the result of a stroke. Jim was born Feb, 6, 1949 in Fontana, Calif., to Harold and Frieda White. He married Ruth Buckland Cerutti on Dec. 15, 1986 in Glendale, Ariz. Jim loved music, and he freely shared his God-given talent with others--including a precious 10 years as a member of the Mt. Hope Assembly of God Praise and Worship Team in Wickenburg. Jim enjoyed weekly mornings feeding the birds and gardening. He is survived by his wife Ruth; sister Kerry Baffa; children Dale White of California, Keith, James and J.J. White, Wendy Crea, Stephan Cerutti and Jenny Vargas--all of Arizona; grandchildren Anthony and Karissa Vargas, P.J. and Toni Crea; and Aiden Cerutti; nieces and nephews Ian and Amy Baffa, Kevin Mallicoat and Kim Wilkins. He is preceded in death by his father Harold White, mother Frieda White, sister Jody Mallicoat and daughter Kelly Jo Mallicoat. A gathering of family and friends is scheduled for later this month at the White home in Wickenburg.
