Jesus welcomed Mac Weldon White home Thursday, May 6, 2021. He was born February 2, 1976 to Barbara (Oliver) and John Charles White. Mac was born in Lufkin, Texas but spent over 23 years in Massachusetts raising his two daughters who he loved above everything.

Mac will always be a hero and an honorable man. He served in the U.S. Army Reserve from 2003-2013 with the 405th Combat Support Hospital out of Worcester, Massachusetts as a combat medic. Between 2007-2008 Mac was deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. He received the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, and Iraq Campaign Medal. After returning home from the war, he became a correctional officer at the state prison in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He then moved on to give back to his fellow veterans as their benefits coordinator at the VA Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

Mac was an amazing father and loved spending time with Hannah and Cassidy. He was a brave man and stood up for what he believed in and who took care of the ones he loved. His heart was with his girls in the North, but his home was always Texas.
