John R. "Jack" White

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John R. “Jack” White, beloved husband, father, brother and friend, at the age of 71. Jack passed away on February 10, 2026, after succumbing to complications of Parkinson’s disease. While he fought with unwavering grit and determination for many years, he finally found the rest he deserved.

Born in Beverly on January 19, 1955, he was the son of the late Kingsbury and Nadja (Melta) White. He grew up never knowing the meaning of ‘idle,’ incapable of staying static for long. He worked hard, played hard and mastered many trades. While he lived fast in his younger years, he found his true purpose when he settled down with his wife, Carol (Conrad) White. Together for nearly 40 years and married for 35, he channeled that relentless work ethic into becoming a devoted husband, wonderful father to Sarah (White) Vogel, and proud Papa Jack to Conrad Vogel, proving that even the fastest movers find their greatest joy in the quiet strength of home.

Jack’s love extended to his siblings, Richard White and Patricia White, both of Danvers, Patricia’s partner, Richard Gilmore, and his son-in-law Mark Vogel, as well as all his extended family and friends.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026 from 9:30-10:45AM, followed by a funeral service at 11AM at C.R. Lyons & Sons, Funeral Directors, 28 Elm St., Danvers. The burial is private.
