Jason White's Obituary
Jason Harold White, Jr. gained his wings to be with the
Lord on Monday, August 16, 2021, just 15 days before his 33rd birthday. His
wife; Janimary, his mother; Jackie, and his children; Jaslene and Jason III
embraced him as he made his transition. Jason was born on August 31, 1988,
in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Jacqueline (Jackie) Denise Porter and Jason
Harold White Sr. He was preceded in death by his grandmother; Hallie
Marie Poole (James) and both of his grandfathers; Ollie Lee Edwards, and
McKinley Boston.
Jason grew up in Jackson, Michigan as the oldest child with his four siblings;
Javon, Janell, Alfred Jr, and Antoine. Jason had an unbreakable bond with
his siblings. Not only was he a brother, but he was also a father figure to them. Jason and his siblings went
through many obstacles in their lives. Jason led by example not focusing on what was wrong but accepting and
conquering every challenge he faced. He used those obstacles to build his testimony; Jason taught his siblings
and others that there is no excuse to not be successful in living life and honored his word. All dreams and goals
do come true if you trust in God, have faith, and put in the leg work. He had no regrets or shame to his life
experiences as they helped to mold him into the wonderful man, amazing husband, and incredible father he
had become that we all knew and loved.
Jason accepted the Lord as his savior at a young age at Lily Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership
of Pastor James L. Hines. His grandmother Jennie Lee Johnson helped with the care of Jason and his siblings.
Jason’s grandmother set the path for them to learn about the Lord.
Jason met and fell in love with Janimary when he first laid eyes on her in elementary school. He knew immediately
she would be his wife one day. They became high school sweethearts that led them to marriage. They were
married on October 26, 2011, at Lily Missionary Baptist Church. From this union, two beautiful children were
born; Jaslene Marie White and Jason Harold White III. Jani and their children were the daily motivation that
Jason needed as he built his empire. Jason prided himself on being a husband and father to his family. Jani
was his backbone; they were a team. She became his motivation to strive for greatness and impacted lives by
sharing his experiences and being an example. He enjoyed having conversations with his children, exploring
their minds, and challenging them on many things.
Jason graduated from Jackson High School in May of 2007. He went on to play football as a linebacker for
Adrian College while earning his bachelor’s degree in Business and Marketing. Jason always had passion for
knowledge and sharing his ideas through his creative talents. He knew how it felt to struggle and go without,
and while he never complained, he set out to teach others about financial literacy. He was so determined to
share his wisdom and make an impact on other people’s lives. With God at the head of his life, he stepped out
on faith and created Witness Riches. From this, grew an umbrella of services such as: Dough Chaser, The 700
Club, Transcend Financially, Black Lettuce and New Direction.
Jason leaves to cherish his memories, his devoted and beautiful wife; Janimary White, two loving children;
Jaslene Marie White and Jason Harold White III, his parents; Jacqueline Denise Porter (Eddie) and Jason
Harold White, Sr., grandmother; Jennie Lee Johnson, five siblings; Ashley Benjamin (Derrick), Javon White
(Victoria), Janell White, Alfred Hall III, and Antoine Hall, his wonderful family of in laws; Jenny Vidro (mother
in law) and Gabriel Perez (father in law), Alejandro Santiago (brother in law), and Carla Santiago ( sister in
law), four nieces and five nephews, thirteen step sisters and brothers, a special aunt; Josephine Oliver, his best
friend; Troy Johnson, a special teacher; Linda Larry-Robinson and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and
influences. Jason’s legacy lives through each and every one of us. The thing that Jason wants us to take from
this is being passionate about what you are trying to accomplish in life and always rise above any obstacles.
