Fred Lee Douglas White, Jr., 51, peacefully passed away on November 27, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. Fred’s loss was unexpected, but he lives on forever in our hearts. He is deeply loved and will be missed more than words can express.
Affectionately known by loved ones as “Pop,” Fred was born in Racine, WI on May 7, 1972, to Fred Lee White, Sr. and Evelyn (Nèe: Robinson) White.
Fred was a joyful person; his smile lit up any room he entered, and his laugh was infectious. Anyone who knew Fred knew that he was a loving and devoted father. Fred was unendingly proud of his son Xavier and always put him first. Fred was also a passionate golfer and could often be found on the green when he wasn’t at home. Fred learned the importance of hard work early in life and he hated being idle. After graduating from Park High School, Fred excelled in his chosen career as a welder and painter.
Fred was preceded in death by his father Fred Sr, uncle Henry Robinson, uncle Travis Robinson, cousin Thomas Caldwell, cousin Reuben Caldwell, and cousin Jimmy Caldwell.
Fred leaves to treasure his precious memory his beloved son Xavier, mother Evelyn White, brother Omar Latif (Bushra), brother Thomas White, sister Virginia Lee, niece Khaira Latif, uncle Thomas Nelson Robinson, cousin Annette Gray and a host of other cousins, special friend Trish McDaniels, and countless cherished friends.

Sending my prayers and condolences to the White Family. Fred and I played basketball at Washington Park and also worked at the Water Department together during the Summer while we both attended college. It broke my heart when I heard that you passed away. You definitely have a spot in heaven. Until he meet again my Dear Friend. ❤️🙏🏿
