John “PawPaw” Frazier White, age 92, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026. He was born on December 13, 1933, to the late Floyd and Elizabeth White of Tazewell, Virginia.

John was married for 50 years to his beloved wife, Gloris Smith White, who preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his daughter, Cheryl Robinson, and six siblings.

He is survived by his loving family, including his sister, Linda White of Disputanta, VA; his children, Lorrie Blevins of Marshville, NC, and Martin White (Cheryl) of Greensboro, NC; and his cherished grandchildren, Jacob Robinson of Charleston, SC, Joshua Blevins of Marshville, NC, Michael Van D**e (Katie) of Greensboro, Jessica Spradlin (Jason) of Greensboro, and Casey White (Shanon) of Eden, NC. He also leaves behind eleven great grandchildren who brought him great joy.

John proudly served his country as a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War, having enlisted at a young age after telling a small “white lie” about his age, driven by a deep sense of duty and patriotism. Following his military service, he returned home to complete his high school education and went on to build a long and dedicated career with the North Carolina Department of Transportation as a Materials and Testing Technician, where he eventually retired.

John found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved being outdoors and gardening, reading sci-fi and Western novels, had a well known habit of denying his fondness for sweets, enjoyed watching MTV’s Ridiculousness, and was known for his hearty, contagious laughter that could fill a room.

John will be remembered for his strength, resilience, humor, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched.

A graveside service will be held Friday, March 27th, at 1:00 PM, at Grandview Memorial Garden in Bluefield, VA. Memorial donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project in his honor.

01/29/2026

Just one story from my 30+ years in the funeral service:

She knew her husband had life insurance.

She knew there was a trust somewhere. A safe deposit box. Investment accounts.

She knew he'd taken care of everything. But she didn't know where any of it was.

No passwords. No account numbers. No access. So she searched.

Filing cabinets. Desk drawers. Old shoeboxes. His email, which she couldn't get into. His computer, password protected.

Three months of searching while the bills piled up.

The mortgage company didn't care that she was grieving. The credit card companies didn't care that she couldn't find the statements. The utility companies didn't care that she was overwhelmed.

They wanted their money.

Three months later, she finally found everything. The life insurance policy was in a folder in the garage. The trust was in a safe deposit box she didn't know existed. The investment account statements were buried in his email.

But those three months?

$12,000 in late fees. A nearly-destroyed credit score. And almost losing the house because she couldn't prove she had the right to make payments on it.

This is the third failure point. The silent killer.

Your family can't use what they can't find.

It doesn't matter how good your plan is. It doesn't matter if you have the best trust, the right beneficiaries, everything set up perfectly.

If your family is grieving AND scrambling to find documents AND fighting deadlines AND dealing with creditors...

Something will break.

********Communicate with your spouse about final wishes and where everything is. Have an emergency fund that both people can get to easily. Also tell trusted family/lawyer how to access everything just in case husband and wife die together.

Have yearly if I/we die meetings because things change.

I hope this helps someone or masses of folks that dont want to leave their family holding the bag when death happens. The death rate is 100% and isn't prejudice when it comes to age.
