The community of Pasadena mourns the loss of a beloved resident, Paul Lee White, who passed away peacefully on May 8, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on April 1, 1953, in the vibrant city of Baltimore, Maryland, Paul was known for his warm heart, hearty laughter, and dedication to his family, friends, and profession.
A skilled carpenter by trade, Paul dedicated his life to building not just structures, but relationships. His craftsmanship was admired by many and served as a reflection of his meticulous nature and artistic spirit. In his later years, he took on the even greater role of being the doting grandfather, a role he cherished deeply.
In his youth, Paul was an avid softball player and later developed a passion for golfing. His enthusiasm for sports translated into a profound joy in watching his grandchildren play, always the loudest cheerleader from the sidelines. Paul was known for his participation in "Thirsty Thursdays" with his close-knit group, the Green Haven boys, where laughter and camaraderie were ever present. His sense of humor and goofy nature were infectious, making him a treasured friend and a joy to be around.
Paul is survived by his loving family, including his son Paul White and his wife Alaina; his daughter Melissa Barnes and her husband Tom; and his siblings Darlene, Sue, Sandy, Jamie, Laura, Bonnie, and Ronnie. He was a proud grandfather to Kendal, Paul, Cooper, and Juliette, each of whom held a special place in his heart. Preceding him in death were his cherished parents, Paul and Shirley White, sister Cathy Hanneken, and his beloved wife, Linda White.
