Native son, Kenneth Roy White (Baby Bull), born May 2, 1949, passed away at his home in Rialto, California on March 26, 2026.

He is survived by his wife, Burrietta Jackson-White and brother, Pastor Delmar A. White. Kenneth attended Lawrence Public Schools, and while a student at Lawrence High School, excelled in football and was selected to the 1966 All-American Football Team.

After leaving Kansas, he and his wife taught in Tanzania, Africa, from 1972 – 1976. Upon returning to America, they settled in Rialto, CA., where Kenneth initially worked at Kaiser Steel, subsequently completing a bachelor’s degree at California State (San Bernardino). He worked briefly as a classroom teacher but ultimately pursued a career in Campus Security at the Moreno Valley School District.

Kenneth spent his free time playing tennis, reading, playing with his beloved dog, Gunner, and being with family and friends. His love of travel took him to places such as Paris, Johannesburg, St. Thomas, Hawaii, and Jamaica. He will be missed by his loving family and friends.

Services will be held on Monday, April 6, 2026, at 10:00 am at the Green Acres Memorial Park and Mortuary, Bloomington, CA 92316
