The family will receive friends for a time of visitation on Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Loflin Funeral Home, 212 West Swannanoa Avenue, Liberty. A funeral service will be held on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 3572 West Greensboro Chapel Hill Road, Liberty.

He was preceded in death by his father, Johnny Alvin White III.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife, Patricia White, of the home; daughter, Crystal White (Eric Morgan); son, Matthew White (Haley Knowles); stepdaughter, Samantha Brown (Tyler); grandson, James Brown; mother, Vickie House (Don); brother, Jeff White (Christi); sister, Olivia Baldwin (Tim Peedin); and a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Billy worked passionately in law enforcement for 23 years in Randolph County, receiving both an Associate's degree and an advance certificate in Criminal Justice.

In 2022, he received a Life Saving Award for administering CPR and successfully restoring a pulse in the individual.

In January 2024, he and some members of his assigned Patrol Team were responsible for the capture of a Department of Corrections inmate who had escaped from his assigned work crew in the Raleigh area. Deputies spotted the truck in the Mint Hill Rd. area and followed it a short distance when the male exited the vehicle and fled on foot. Deputies gave chase and provided a direction of travel to other deputies arriving in the area. Dep. White encountered the male exiting a wooded area on Emerald Drive, pursued him on foot, and tactically subdued the male.

In May of 2024, Billy medically retired from Randolph County Sheriff's Department.

In his free time, he loved to travel with his wife, especially to Christmas stores. Billy loved to spend time with his family; he enjoyed playing jokes on his wife and grandson, and the home was always filled with his laughter. He loved to play games (and win) and was very competitive. Of everything he accomplished in life, he was most proud of his children, Crystal and Matthew.
