Clarence James White II

As a new day dawned, a new life began. The morning of January 27, 2024, the summons came, and he answered, moving into eternity. Clarence J. White II was born on October 20, 1998, in Cincinnati, to Clarence J. White and Monica McClinton-nee Armstrong. He attended Withrow High School and was very active in sports. He participated in baseball, wrestling and football. In 2017, he graduated and became an active alumnus attending many sporting events when time permitted.

In 2020, he confessed Christ and was baptized at New Nazarene Baptist Church by Pastor Clarence E. as Glover. In 2021, he joined the United Stated Army and began his career with basic training at Ft. Benning, Georgia. He met many life-long friends and graduated in March 2022 as an Infantry Soldier. For first duty station he was assigned to Fort Hood/Fort Cavazos, Texas. On September 28, 2023, he was very excited to celebrate his 2-year anniversary as an enlisted soldier and was promoted to the rank of Corporal. During his 2-year service he was deployed to the European Theater and visited Poland and Germany. He really enjoyed the overseas experience and took many pictures, brought home a multitude of souvenirs and foreign currency. During his career he also began to learn about and practice the Muslim religion.

CJ or little CJ, as he was affectionately called was “THE” life of the party and always wanted to have a good time no matter what the activity or event. CJ was fun-loving, silly, charismatic and could be considered a big teddy bear or gentle giant. He was always displaying that handsome smile. CJ leaves to cherish his memories, his mother Monica (Mark) McClinton, his father Clarence (Michelle) White. His grandparents, Archie (Clemmie) Armstrong, and Eugene (Pamela) North. His great grand- mother, Armenta White. Siblings; Diamund McClinton, Jiya White, Malcolm
