Lynn was born June 10, 1933 in Lubbock, Texas to Grace and L.E. White.  Soon after, he was voted “Texas’ Most Beautiful Baby” by the local newspaper.  As an adult, Lynn White was best known for his kind heart, constant humor, and lifelong skills as both an athlete and pianist.

He was a longtime member of the Church of Christ and joined the congregation in Baker Heights in 1968. His Christian faith guided him to serve others as throughout his life.  Lynn was married to Betty Jo Craig of Abilene for 66 happy years. They enjoyed fishing together at Coleman Lake and spending time together in their home where his beautiful piano music could often be heard. Betty passed away in 2017 but Lynn never stopped speaking about the love of his life.  In addition to his skill in music and athletics, Lynn White took great pride in dressing sharply. He and Betty owned a clothing business for more than 10 years before he moved to a career in the fuel industry.

He is survived by his son, Doug White of Dallas, Texas, his daughter, Vicky Mallett, of San Diego, California, and his granddaughter, Kim Berryman, of Los Angeles, California and his loving friends Connie and Donnie Vogler of Abilene, Texas.
