On Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, Bradley Aaron White unexpectedly passed away at the age of 26. Bradley was born in Elizabethton to Freeman White Jr. and Toni Dee (Trivette) White of Elizabethton. Bradley was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, JoAnn Trivette, and his father-in-law, David Suggs.

Bradley was a very hardworking young man and an amazing husband, father, son, brother and friend. He had a smile that would light up a room and a goofy personality that could make anyone laugh. He took such good care of his wife and children and was a true family man. Bradley would help anyone in need and loved children, and he was never afraid to show his love and affection.

Bradley was an employee of Summers-Taylor for the past seven years and was of the Pentecostal faith. He was a huge NASCAR fan and enjoyed playing card games, board games and spending time with his family. He was mechanically inclined and loved working on lawn mowers in his spare time.

Those left to cherish Bradley’s many wonderful memories include his wife, Tamara White of Elizabethton; his beloved children, Harper White and Oakley White of the home; his mother, Toni Trivette, and his stepfather, Jody Keefauver of Gray; his sisters, Anna (Daniel) Smith of Florida and Rebecca White of Bristol, Tenn.; his brother, Andrew White of Elizabethton; his mother-in-law, Rebecca Suggs of Elizabethton; his sisters-in-law, Maygen Suggs and Chelsey Suggs, both of Elizabethton; his brothers-in-law, Ronnie Showman and David Suggs, both of Elizabethton; his aunt, Annie Boggs of North Carolina; his best friend, Chase Woodby of Elizabethton; his grandparents-in-law, Steve and Margaret Dunn of Erwin; and several nieces, nephews and other extended family also survive.

A celebration of Bradley’s life was conducted at 2 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, 2025, in the Chapel of Tetrick Funeral Home, Elizabethton, with the Rev. Daniel Smith officiating. The family received friends between the hours of noon and 2 p.m. prior to the service.

Our family would like to thank Summers-Taylor for their care and support during this difficult time, especially Bo Garland.
