Jonathan Andrew White, age 56 died on Wednesday, November 4, 2020, at home in Ashburn, Virginia.
Born November 9, 1963 in Rochester, New York, he was the son of Leonard White and Caroline Knight White. A graduate of East Greenwich High School in East Greenwich, Rhode Island and Strayer University in Herndon, VA, Jonathan served our country from 1981 to 1989. He did his basic training in Ft Knox, KY and drove tanks in Fulda, West Germany for two years. He then served in the reserves state-side for a few years before he re-enlisted, driving trucks at Ft Lewis, WA until his unit was deployed to South Korea.
Jonathan continued to drive trucks after his service but then took his interest in technology and parlayed it into a career in IT with some of the early bandwidth providers and then in education at the State University of New York at Brockport and The College of New Rochelle. Most recently, he wanted to give back to the military he so admired by using these skills to help veterans navigate the technological processes needed to get tele-medical care during this pandemic.
A man of few words but generous deeds, Jon is remembered for his willingness to help people with anything needed. From giving rides to veterans to health care appointments to helping neighbors set up computers or upgrade technology, Jon never looked for praise or reciprocation but showed his regard through actions.
Jonathan had an avid interest in military history and military war games with a large collection of books and games that he is donating to the local club.
Jonathan is survived by his parents, Leonard and Caroline White, siblings Brian White & Amy White-Steiner and his nephew Michael White.
