Obituary for Emmitt Lemar White


06/07/1975 - 10/25/2024


Emmitt Lemar White, age 49 of Murphy, NC, entered Glory on October 25, 2024.

Born in Newnan, Georgia, on June 7, 1975, Emmitt was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend, and follower of Christ. His unwavering faith, kindness, and dedication to his family and friends left a profound impact on all who knew him.

Emmitt is survived by his loving wife, Latasha White; his children: Emmitt White Jr., Caitlyn White, Gregory Keelen, and Grace Keelen,(Gregory’s wife); and his cherished grandchildren: Madison White, McKinley White, Grayson White, and Waylon White.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Emmitt Luther White and Linda Lee White. The care and Christ-like love he showed to those who knew him lives on in the hearts of those who remember him. His favorite verse, John 3:16, reminds us of his deep faith: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." — John 3:16

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11am on Friday, November 1, 2024 at Calvary Chapel in Murphy, North Carolina.

Townson-Rose Funeral Home is in charge of all local arrangements.
