David White
JACKSON - David White, 7, of Jackson, died on the morning of Aug. 23, 2000, in a car accident in Casper, Wyo.
David was born in the Memorial Hospital of North Conway on Dec. 24, 1992. Survivors are his mother, Joany White; sisters, Alden and Orly White; grandparents, Kougie and Jack Northrop; Aunt Lynn Gray; cousin, Joy Barbat; and Robbie White.
One of his life goals was to become a dancer, which was inspired by his three-year participation in the local Christian ballet company, "A Time to Dance," instructed by Christy Kravette.
Another goal was to be a mountain man missionary, which was strengthened through his biblical instruction received at Christian Fellowship of New England's Sunday School and White Mountain Chapel's AWANA program, where he won the award for the most Bible verses learned two years in a row. Also at AWANA, his Pinewood Derby cars won awards for speed and design.
As an active member of the Happy Horses 4-H Club, he enjoyed making and modeling his sewing projects, giving demonstrations at county activities day, participating in dog agility and exhibiting his work at the Fryeburg and Sandwich fairs. Also at Fryeburg, he was the 1999 winner of the parent/child cookie contest and performed for two years at the Hayseed Theater performing ballet with his friends and singing cowboy songs with his family.
David made many great contributions as host to the children of guests at his family's bed and breakfast.
He took pride in helping to train the family's young horses by being the first person to sit on them.
Home-schooling was lots of fun for David, but when asked which subject he enjoyed least he replied, "Math, because it is way too easy."
He won numerous leadline riding championships at Running Horse Farm and in the Northern New England Hunter and Jumper Association.
He enjoyed many outdoor activities which he pursued at home and at Teton Valley Ranch Camp in Jackson Hole, Wyo., where he spent this past summer with his family and fulfilled his dream of being a cowboy.
Some of his favorite activities were riding his bike, shooting at the riflery and archery ranges, fishing, hiking, swimming, playing ball and frisbee, reading cowboy stories, making lapidary and craft projects, roping in the weekly rodeos and playing with his friends and family.
David had many heroes for each category of interest including his grandfather after whom he was named, Bill Bricker, Robin Hood, Zorro, John Wayne, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, Bibleman, John Moulton, John Kelly and Mikhail Baryshnikov, but the biggest hero of his life was Jesus.
David's family and friends will remember him for being enthusiastic, creative, thoughtful, engaging, silly, fun, sweet, caring, sensitive, happy, eager to learn, expressive and affectionate. As one of his adult friends put it, "If there was a limit to the number of hugs we could give out in this life, David would have reached it."
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given to Christian Fellowship of New England Children's Ministry.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, Sept. 9, at 2 p.m. at Christian Fellowship of New England, across from McSherry's Nursery. All are welcome.
