White, Sheldon Charles
JANUARY 03, 1986 - MAY 26, 2014
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved son; Sheldon Charles White. Sheldon was born January 03, 1986 in Drumheller, Alberta and passed away May 26, 2014 in Red Deer, Alberta at the age of 28 years.
Sheldon was passionate about numerous things in life. His younger years were spent growing up in Morrin, AB where he enjoyed playing hockey year round (street or ice). He was known for his “cat like” skills tending net for his team. He was an awesome goalie. Some of Sheldon’s other passions in life included his love of music from the time he was a very young boy. Sheldon also loved the outdoors. He loved camping at the Morrin Bridge with his family but his favourite vacation spot was Penticton, BC where he loved to float down the canal time and time again. Sheldon’s dream in life was to grow up and be just like his dad; working in the oil patch on the drilling rigs, which he did. Sheldon shared with his mother a passion and love for Alberta’s majestic mountains and they enjoyed numerous hiking trips to Banff National Park.
Sheldon had a heart larger than life itself. He was a kind and gentle soul who thought the world of his family and friends and he loved to make them laugh. Sheldon adored and cherished his sister and best friend Amanda, as well as his two nieces; Paige and Claire.
Sheldon leaves behind his loving parents; Darrell White and Anna-Marie White (Raisbeck), his sister Amanda and brother in-law Reid (Swain), his nieces Paige and Claire Swain, Grandmother Julie White (Jackman), Grandfather Grant Raisbeck, Grandmother and step-Grandfather Mary and Don Jackson, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Sheldon was preceded in death by his Great-Grandmother Mary Ellen White (2003), Great Grandmother Florence Matchett, Grandfather Melville Charles White (1993), his cousins Justin Laverne Bremer (1997) and Shane Robert Grant Raisbeck (2009).
Services for Sheldon will be held Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 2:00 PM at the Grace Lutheran Church in Drumheller, Alberta with Pastor Boehm officiating. A “private” family interment will follow immediately at the Morrin Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that donations be made to STARS FOUNDATION, 1441 Aviation Park N.E., Box 570, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 9Z9.
