Christopher John White

Mr. Christopher John White, 61, of West Hartford, CT passed away surrounded by love on April 1, 2022 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on March 18, 2022. Christopher was born on November 28, 1960 in New York, NY. He was predeceased by his parents Victoria Ramos and Christopher James White. He was also predeceased by his beloved Stepfather John O’Leary and both of his brothers Paul White and John O’Leary Jr. He is survived by his wife, Leslie White, their two children, Anthony White(33), Nicole White(29), and his grandchildren Autumn(5), Jaxon(2), and Aurora(1). Chris always had a special place in his heart for all six of his nieces and nephews. New arrivals and extended family include Aunts and Uncles; Nancy Castro, Albert Ramos; Sisters Lauren Mueller and Karen O’Leary. Our family continues to grow with Amanda Budja, Christopher Carpentieri, and Zoe Stephens-North. Chris grew up in New York City and became an EMT prior to joining the Navy in 1979. He was extremely proud of his Military service. Soon after he met the love of his life, Leslie, while living in Boston where he was The Program Director of the Boy’s Club in Cambridge, Mass. They moved to CT to start their family. Most of his career was spent managing properties. Chris dedicated much of his time to the community through many different avenues such as Boy/Eagle Scouts, Youth Arts Programs, local soup kitchens, substance abuse programs, and local senior centers. He truly enjoyed using his unique personality and talents to spread joy and lift those around him. Chris was a member of the local APA Billiards League for many years, a bonding experience he loved with his son. This was a passion that his father passed to him, and he successfully passed to his son. As a professional magician, Chris was accepted into the National Society of Magicians. He enjoyed meeting up with the “Old timers” for their monthly meetings where they would share their behind-the-scenes secrets. As an accomplished musician Chris played several instruments but was mind blowing when he sat behind his drum set. Chris and his wife Leslie would spend countless hours jamming through the night in the “Drumgeon” studio that he created as their escape. Chris was so excited to recently start taking base lessons at LaSalle so he could jam with “The Guys.” Chris "Superman" White was truly loved by all that knew him. A lasting impression that made a difference in many lives. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, April 6, 2022 at Molloy Funeral Home 906 Farmington Ave. West Hartford, CT. Calling hours are 4pm-6:30pm with words of remembrance beginning at 6:30pm. The White Family invites all to come and celebrate the beautiful life lived by the man we will all miss. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to Westmoor Park, 119 Flagg Road, West Hartford, CT. A memorial bench in his honor will be located at the park, a place he would spend countless summer days with his grandchildren. Please reference Christopher White when sending donations.
