Adrian White

Adrian "Toot" White, born on January 18, 1977 in Lansing, Michigan to his beloved mother Readie Jean Goldman and raised alongside his father Edward Goldman. Adrian peacefully transitioned from this life on April 10, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and quiet resilience.

At a very young age Adrian joined the Spiritual Israel Church and its Army. He attended Everett High School and was known for his strong work ethic and determination. Adrian dedicated many years of service to Kwik Car Wash, where he was a familiar and dependable presence. He later continued his employment at MSU, working faithfully until his health no longer allowed him to do so.

More than anything, Adrian treasured time spent with his family and friends. Whether through laughter, conversation, or simply being present, those moments meant everything to him. He will be remembered for his kind heart, gentle spirit, and the quiet strength he carried so naturally.

Adrian leaves to cherish his memory his loving mother, Readie Jean Goldman of Canton, Mississippi. His passing has left a space in her heart that can never be filled. He will be deeply missed each and every day, but her love for him will continue to live on, just as his memory will forever remain in her heart; his life partner, Lanina Wright of Ypsilanti, Michigan; his daughter, Adriana (Elisha) Woods of Canton, Michigan; his sister, Detrius (Leadres) Goldman-Brown of Canton Mississippi; God sisters, Sharisse (TaPara) Simmons of Lansing, Michigan, Tia and Tomeka Wright of Lansing, Michigan; his beloved granddaughter, A’naiya Woods of Canton, Michigan; best friend, Shakir Gilliam of Huntsville, Alabama; along with a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his devoted father Edward Goldman, who was called home shortly after him; his father, Johnnie Lee Buck; his grandmother, Bobbie White; his aunts, Lisa White, Mary Buck, Carmen Goldman, and T-Mary Garner; and his cousins Chrisy and Kealia Luckett, and Cleo Goldman, who all welcomed him into eternal rest.

Though he is no longer with us in presence, Adrian's love, spirit, and memories will live on in all who knew and loved him.
