A DEVASTATING GOODBYE TO A MAN WHO MEANT EVERYTHING
Country music legend Lorrie Morgan is facing an unimaginable loss with the passing of her beloved husband, Randy White.
The couple shared nearly two decades of love, laughter, and deep partnership—and now, fans across the country music world are joining her in mourning.

A LIFE OF FAMILY, FAITH, AND QUIET STRENGTH
Born on May 15, 1953, Randy White lived a life rooted in hard work and devotion. He attended Volunteer State Community College and built a successful landscaping business—quietly supporting his family and community with strength and kindness.

In September 2010, Randy and Lorrie were married in an intimate beachside ceremony that marked the beginning of a blended family journey.
Randy had four children, and Lorrie had two, including her son Jesse Keith Whitley—the son of late country icon Keith Whitley.

In April 2024, Lorrie Morgan revealed that Randy had been diagnosed with mouth cancer. Despite the difficult news, the couple remained strong and hopeful.

By April 2025, Randy’s health took a turn for the worse, and he was hospitalized in Tennessee. Lorrie canceled several performances to remain by his side, while close friend Pam Tillis stepped in to support her tour obligations.

Sadly, during the early morning hours of Sunday, June 1, 2025, Randy White passed away at the age of 72.

LORRIE’S HEARTFELT STATEMENT: “I WAS BLESSED BY HIS LOVE”

Through her manager Tony Conway, Lorrie released a public statement to PEOPLE Magazine that captured the depth of her grief and love:

“Randy has been my partner and my rock for 17 years. Our big, wonderful family and I are devastated at the loss of this truly kind and incredible man. I was blessed by his love. Ran-Ran, I will love and miss you forever.”

She also shared the message with fans on her official Facebook page, accompanied by a touching photo of the two together at the Grand Ole Opry.

JESSE KEITH WHITLEY PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE MAN WHO STEPPED IN WHEN LIFE GOT HARD
Jesse Keith Whitley, Lorrie’s son, also opened his heart in a deeply personal tribute. Jesse lost his biological father, country legend Keith Whitley, in 1989 when he was just two years old.

When Randy married Lorrie, Jesse was in his early 20s—and the bond they built over the years shaped his adult life profoundly.

“From the time I was 22 or 23, this great man has been there for my mom, and also for me and my sister, as if we were his own,” Jesse wrote.
“He showed me love. He showed me a relationship with Jesus even though I grew up Catholic. He was the best grandfather to my kids. He picked me up when I needed help—even late at night, without judgment. Not even once was he mad.”

Jesse went on to describe Randy as a man of unshakable love, gentle strength, and genuine kindness.

“Even when I called him from a jail cell, he laughed and said, ‘I’ll be there in a little bit.’”

He ended his message with a powerful farewell:

“Our hearts are shattered in losing you. But you have fought one helluva fight, RanMan. We will miss you always and forever.”

REMEMBERING RANDY WHITE
Randy White may not have lived his life in the spotlight, but to those who knew him—especially Lorrie and her children—he was a light, a protector, and a pillar of love.

As fans send their condolences, we remember Randy not just as Lorrie Morgan’s husband, but as a man who embraced family, faced illness with dignity, and left behind a legacy of compassion and quiet strength.
