He was born on November 15th, 1965 to parents Jesse Wade White Sr. and Barbara Tickle White in Winston-Salem.  Russell lived in many places growing up; Spartanburg, Elkin, Winston-Salem, and Durham. He made friends easily everywhere he lived. He ultimately moved with his family to Denver, NC where he graduated from East Lincoln high school in 1984. He attended Western Carolina University where he met his wife Sandra Shope. They were married in 1987 and had two children Ashley and Tyler. The White family lived in Newton, NC.

He loved spending time out doors whether it be fishing on Lake Norman or riding his motorcycle down the Blue Ridge Parkway.  In addition to his parents, he was survived by his sister Jeanne (Sherilyn) White; brothers Jesse Wade (Kathy) White, Jr., and Kenneth D. White. His memorial service will be held at 3:00pm Sunday November 10, 2019 at Gentry Family Chapel in Yadkinville.
