Clifton V. “Pete” White, 62, of Knoxville, Arkansas, formerly of Locust Grove, died Sunday, November 24, 2013 in Clarksville.
He was born in Harrison, Arkansas on July 17, 1951 to Clifton Vernon White and Mildred Ethel (Parker) White. He graduated from Southside High School in 1969 and served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War.

An avid yearlong fisherman, he was particularly an expert in Crappie Angling. He was also a talented and creative builder who built all the homes that he and his family lived in. He was known among his peers for having a strong work ethic. His hobbies included anything in the outdoors, such as hiking, camping, gardening, playing horseshoes, and the Arkansas Razorbacks. But his true passion was being with his wife and children. His greatest joy was being ‘poppa’ to his granddaughters.
