Published 2/1/2012 in Obituaries

Custom obituary

Roger Edward "Ed" White Jr., 49, of Garden City, Kan., died Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, in Garden City, Kan.

He was born April 1, 1962, in Kansas City, Kan. Ed grew up in Kansas City and attended schools there. He graduated from Washington High School in 1980. Ed later moved to Garden City, Kan., in 2006 and has lived in Garden City since. Ed was a swift, but meticulous, sheet rocker, remodeler and constructor of everything from houses to solid body guitars. He self-taught himself to be proficient in computer technology. He was creative, inventive, kindhearted and could make you laugh. A perfectionist in everything he did, he made everything he did look easy. Music was his special joy.

Survivors include two sons, Anthony White of Lawrence, Kan., and Austin White of Kansas City, Kan.; a daughter, Lauren White of Kansas City, Kan.; his parents, Stella and Dan Taylor of Buffalo, Mo., and Roger Sr. and Mary White of Liberty, Mo.; a sister, Calista Baker of Edwardsville, Kan.; a brother, Paul White of Kansas City, Mo.; and 13 nieces and nephews.

A reception to celebrate Ed's life will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012, at Wesley Hall in the First United Methodist Church of Garden City.

There will be no calling hours. The family requests memorials given to the Ed White Memorial Fund, in care of Garnand Funeral Home of Garden City, Kan. Condolences may be emailed to garnandfh@sbcglobal.net.

Arrangements by: Garnand Funeral Home, 412 N. Seventh St., Garden City, KS 67846, (620) 276-3219.

When I bought a house in Garden City, I needed things repaired. I met Ed through some friends that said he did great work. He was very articulate, a hard worker and a good friend. He will be missed. My heart goes out to his family. May God bless you all.

Many fond memories

I have many fond memories of Ed from many years ago in Jr. and Sr. High Schools. He had a great sense of humor and was extremely bright. I am saddened by his passing and wish his family my most heartfelt condolances.
