As a young man, Mark served as a nuclear weapons specialist in the United States Air Force at Barksdale AFB in Bossier City, Louisiana.

He was a steady source of stability and security for his family. Mark was loving, patient, supportive, wise, gentle, and caring. Mark had a passion for God more than anything else. He was firm in his faith and believed in others when they did not believe in themselves. If you spoke with him for a few minutes, the conversation turned to faith and life. He had a wonderful sense of humor.
Mark was preceded in death by his father, Edgar White. He is survived by his mother Lois White, siblings Edgar, Jr, Lois Jenkins, Hank White, (Christina), and Tony White, (Alice), all of New York.
