It is with very heavy hearts we announce Steven James White entered into eternal rest on Friday July 9, 2021 at the very young age of 32. Steve was born in Brockton on August 11, 1988 to parents Wendy White and the late Steven White. Steve had a love for the beach and the outdoors from a very early age. Whether enjoying long hikes on the off-beaten path or quietly watching the waves beat along the shore, Steve never missed an opportunity to enjoy the peace he found in nature. He graduated from Bridgewater-Raynham High School in 2006 before beginning a successful career in carpentry. After years of dedication and hard work and perfecting his craft, he built his successful small business SJWhite Frame to Finish. His incredible talent and passion shined in every project he touched. Most importantly, Steve had a deep love for his family. He was a proud husband and father to three beautiful boys. Nothing else on earth gave Steve as much joy as his time with his family and watching his young sons grow. "Steve and I first met in July of 2012. Our first date I knew that I was going to fall head over heels in love with him. We both felt this immediate comfort with each other. It was the longest first date I've ever had—starting the day at Nahant Beach, and ending with a long stroll through downtown Boston— I didn't want it to end. He was such a gentleman, insisted on opening doors for me and other sweet gestures. I went home with the biggest smile on my face. From that day forward we were inseparable. Steve had a way of making me feel so beautiful and so loved. I had the privilege of feeling this unconditional, deep connection with him for almost 10 years. Through all my imperfections and flaws he loved me, and I him. Steve was and always will be my soulmate. Half of me will forever be missing. I'm lost without him. I am so grateful we were blessed with three beautiful boys, and I will forever keep his memory alive for them and through them. Life will never be the same." - Lauren White "Steven was my brother, best friend, mentor, and like a father figure to me. He taught me how to be a man—one that stands out from the crowd due to hard, honest work. He always pushed me to work harder and to better myself. He taught me the right way to do everything and to never cut corners. He taught me how to provide for myself and was the most influential person in my life. His love and passion for construction inspired my current career choice as a Project Superintendent in the industry. I would not be where I am today If it were not for his guidance. I don't know how I will navigate life without his brotherly love and advice. I will forever miss our random long phone calls where we would just talk about anything and everything. I could tell him anything and he would be there for me. You were my best friend. There are so many things I have to say about my brother. The devastation of this loss is beyond words." - Garrett Yurkins "Steven James White was my first born son. He taught me how to be a mother. From the moment I found out that I was pregnant, I learned what unconditional love was. His smile would light up his eyes and you always knew when he walked into a room, he had such a big presence. He was so smart, outgoing, (when he was 6, he was deemed the mayor of Curve Street, he knew everything about everyone and would smile and wave as we rode by). He was curious and always open to learning everything he could about what this life had to offer. He learned his trade and then mastered it. He loved his little brother, talking to him almost everyday, his wife, sons and friends, fiercely. His friends knew him to be determined, hardworking, fun and loyal. So very proud of the man he grew into. His legacy will live on forever through his three beautiful boys. He was my reason to be strong and he kept going even when life was rough. A big piece of my heart went to heaven today. I pray our souls meet again." Wendy White He touched countless lives and served as an inspiration to everyone he met. His laugh and smile, his positive personality, everything about him will be deeply missed.
