 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. II Timothy 4:7-8.

Celebrating Life

In this world, some souls leave an indelible mark, and George Ladell White IV, affectionately known as "Hooty", “5”, and “Mr. PTSO” was one such soul. George was born July 13, 1997, to George White III and Kedra NeShay White in Vicksburg, MS, at Vicksburg Hospital.  From the moment he entered the world, he brought light, joy and energy to everyone around him with an undeniable sense of style and a heart full of love, especially to his brother Demarius.  He was together loved and raised by his devoted Godparents Calvin and Sharon Richardson, alongside their children; God Siblings (Maranda, Calvin Jr, Charlisia Richardson and Raheem Harvey).  He embraced life with passion and purpose. 

He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Ukal Claiborne, J.P. & Fannie Collins; Eli and Hattie Sayles; George “GW” and Annie White; Uncles: Willie “Sonny” Beasley, Maurice “Dipper” White and Ukal Claiborne, Jr.; Aunts, Ethel Brooks, Mary Shelton; Cousin, Keith Lamont Beasley Jr., and ABM brothers: Leroy Neal, D’quaveon Hill and Malik Haynes.

Family and friends were the foundation of George’s life. He cherished his loved ones deeply, and his relationships reflected a spirit of loyalty and love.  Though George’s journey ended far too soon on September 9, 2024, at the Claiborne County Hospital, his legacy lives on in the lives he touched. He was a beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, friend, etc., and his impact will be felt for generations.
