Jack Eugene White, 91, of Dunkirk, Indiana, joined his Lord and Savior in glory on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, peacefully while in the company of his wife. 

Jack was born in Redkey, Indiana, on June 23, 1933, a son of the late Luvina Mae (Silvers) and James Robert White. He was a 1952 graduate of Redkey High School, proudly served his country in the United States Army and was employed as a mold maker for Ball Inc. Glass Manufacturing until his retirement in 1992.
