Alexander T. White


Sunrise: February 16, 1976

Sunset: February 6, 2023

Alexander T. White was best known as Polo, Do Dirty, and Ty.  He was named after his late Uncle Tyrone.  Born February 16th , Ty was an Aquarius who loved people and loved life.  His smile was contagious and his style was unique.

     His generosity and sweet spirit gained him so much love and respect all around.  A straight hustler, Tyrone was well known amongst his peers.  He made friends with everyone he met. He love the community and happy to serve in any capacity for anyone.  Definitely the life of any party!  Never a dull moment, jokes and pranks for days.  Mostly tho, he was caring and thoughtful.  A fighter through and through even when the odds were placed against him.  Surly loved by so many.  

     He is a friend to some, a father to others, a brother/brotha to many, but a husband to one—Brenda Best.  He leaves behind Alexander Tyshawn Cooper, Nicholas Tyree Cooper, Marquis Best, Melody White, and stepdaughter Makayla Boney.  His children will carry on his legacy.  Stephanie, Lamont, and Azale White are his remaining brothers and sister from their late mother Dorthrice White.  He will join his late stepdad Shotgun and his grandma Dodabug in heaven.  He leaves behind a host of step sisters and brothers Maxx, Mike, Sheldon, Felicia, and Shareana.  His heart shines bright for his special nieces KayKay and Ariyanna.  He also shared a special place in his heart for his mother-in-law Clementine and sister-in-law Celestine, Aunt Ruth, his special cousin Angie and the entire Wiggins and White family.  Tyrone will live on through the abundance of family and friends too long to list.

    Cousin I love you! This was not apart of the plan. You was suppose to be with me celebrating my birthday, but God had other plans.
    So you can now party with your mom, Grandmom, cousins, Aunts, uncles and friend. It was never a dull moment when u was around. You keep us laughing cause you was a jokester. He loved me, my mom and my brother. If he had it you better believe he found away to give it to me. You will be missed Cuz.
