George

White

George "Jay" White Jr., age 83, of Whitehouse, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at Ayden Healthcare of Waterville.

Born on April 13, 1943, in Toledo, Ohio, Jay was the son of George J. White Sr. and Alma (Mulinix) White. He graduated from Libbey High School in 1961 and went on to build a long and respected career with Columbia Gas, where he worked for 30 years.

An entrepreneur at heart, Jay pursued several successful business ventures over the years. He was the owner of All Seasons Tool Rental on Tedrow Road in South Toledo and later operated Don's Carry Out on Byrne Road. Whether through his businesses, his work, or his personal life, Jay was known for his willingness to help others. He never hesitated to lend a hand to a friend, neighbor, or stranger in need.

Jay's love for Nancy was often reflected in his willingness to try new things. He once took up horseback riding to spend more time with her. Although riding never really became his thing, he gave it an honest try, a reflection of the good nature and devotion that were characteristic of him throughout his life.

Jay was deeply involved in his community and was a proud and active member of Maumee Eagles Aerie #2562, where he served as an officer and formed many lasting friendships over the years.

In 1964, Jay married Nancy Warns, the love of his life, who survives him. He is also survived by his daughters, Mary Jo (Joseph) Cutcher and Darlene White; his brother, Jerry White; grandchildren Nicole, Crystal, David, R.J., Michael, and Jacob; several cherished great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Susan (James) Sanchez; and brother-in-law John (Jennifer) Warns. He is also survived by his estranged daughter, Patti (Chris) Masales.

Jay will be remembered for his generous spirit, strong work ethic, entrepreneurial drive, and willingness to help others. Most of all, he will be remembered as a devoted husband, proud father and grandfather, loyal friend, and a man whose kindness touched countless lives.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

His family would like to thank the caring nurses at Hospice Waterville who cared for Jay at the end of his life.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Caring Cremation Services.
