William, affectionately known as "Easy," received his formal education in the Davie County School System. He served his country honorably as a member of the United States Army. Upon returning to Davie County, William gained employment with The CSS Construction Company until his health began to decline.


William enjoyed life to the fullest. His favorite pastimes were fishing, talking to everyone, playing basketball (he believed he was in the NBA), listening to music, dancing to his favorite songs and watching television game shows.


In addition to fathers, Henry "Sonny" White and Randolph Barker, he was preceded in death by his brother, Larry Eugene White..
