of Clarksville, AR
March 15, 1943 - March 4, 2022
Floyd Quinton White passed away in his home on Friday, March 4th at the age of 78. Floyd was surrounded by his family.
He was born in Clarksville on March 15, 1943. He was the son of the late Harve and Myrtie White of Clarksville. He is preceded in death by one sister Thelma White-Fowler and brother-in-law Tom Fowler of Hartman.
He loved the outdoors. Fishing, hunting, and camping brought a smile to his face. He was known for his kind and generous heart; he never met a stranger. He served in a variety of leadership roles in his church including board member, Sunday School superintendent, camp counselor, and bus driver for children's programs. He attended Hedgeway Church.
In addition to serving his communities of faith, he was a retired member of the National Guard. He spent 50 years as a commercial pipe fitter and nearly 40 of those years he was a foreman for Northwest Fire Protection. In that role, he was revered as an expert in his field, led construction projects, and was even known to jump on a backhoe if needed.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years Norma Sue Hollon-White; three sons, Terry L. White of Houston, Texas; Bryan White and wife Alysha of Clarksville; and Rocky White of Clarksville; four grandchildren, Coleman White, Jayden White, Madilyn White, Sarah White; and community of family and friends.
Visitation will be held on Monday, March 7 from 5pm - 7pm at Roller-Cox Funeral Home in Clarksville. The funeral will be held on Tuesday, March 8 at 2pm at Roller-Cox Funeral Home. Interment will be at Shady Grove Cemetery following the service.

Floyd was one of my favorite people, from the first time I met him! He was kind, funny, and always ready to offer a helping hand. Floyd's family is the same way as well - Norma and Bryan have been great friends for years. I will miss Floyd, and my deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Floyd! I had the privilege of knowing him off and on over a period of 65-plus years. We attended Clarksville Junior and Senior High School together. Beginning from that time on, he was always upbeat, of good spirit and always seemed to want to do the right thing.
During our professional lives our paths would cross on various construction projects and it was always so good to see him and visit with him for a few minutes. It was always an uplifting experience. He was always conscientious about his work and had a good feel for people.
In our more recent years, we would occasionally see each other at Walmart or somewhere and it was always good to get to visit some more. I am sure he will be missed by many!

So sorry to hear of Floyd's passing. My heart goes out to his family. I went to school with Bryan and Alysha and met Floyd around 1993. He never failed to give a big "Hello" and strike up a conversation if I saw him out since then. Prayers to all during this very heartbreaking time.
