Louis “Louie” Lumpkin White

A life that touched so many hearts will be forever remembered.

Obituary

Louis Lumpkin White, affectionately known as "Louie", was born on January 18, 2002, in Marietta, Georgia, and was embraced from the beginning by a large and loving community of family and friends.

Louie’s early education began at Georgia Pacific for Kids, followed by Shreiner Academy, where his natural leadership shone through. He could often be found standing proudly atop the jungle gym, instructing his first-grade peers with the confident declaration, “this is how it’s going to work.” At Shreiner, he excelled academically and discovered his gift for languages, learning Spanish in pre-school/elementary school.

In third grade, Louie continued his elementary and middle school years at Woodward Academy, where he played upright bass in the orchestra and was an integral member of both the football and lacrosse teams. He completed his high school education at Riverwood International Charter School, where he played varsity lacrosse, earned Honor Roll recognition, received the Chinese Achievement Award, and graduated with a Certificate of Pathway Completion in Computer Science. Dedicated to service as well as scholarship, Louie was an active member of the NSAC Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, graduating out in 2020. He also participated in Junior Achievement of Georgia with the IHG Hotel Group, serving as Head of the Marketing Team and winning “Best Website Design.”

A lover of culture and adventure, Louie traveled widely both in the U.S. and abroad. He studied Mandarin in China—earning a certificate from Nanjing University, Nanjing, China—and visited Beijing, Shanghai, and the Great Wall. His global adventures also took him to the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico, and Australia, where he swam the Great Barrier Reef and surfed Waikiki. He had a passion for high fashion, travel, and living life to the fullest.

Louie went on to earn his Bachelor of Business Administration in Information Systems from Georgia Southern University in May 2024. There, he received the SAP Achievement Award, was an active member of the SAP User Group Organization and played midfield for the Georgia Southern Lacrosse Team.

Louie was employed as an Associate Functional Consultant/NetSuite for Oracle Corporation in Nashville, Tennessee. At Oracle, he was a member of A.B.L.E. (Alliance of Black Leaders Excellence). He loved his job and was a natural fit for his position. He was a very successful member of his team and was loved by his entire cohort and management team. He was affectionately known by his cohort as their "hype man".

Those who knew Louie will forever remember him for his kindness, sharp wit, brilliant mind, athletic spirit, and playful humor. He was respectful, adventurous, fun-loving, and above all, a loyal son, cohort, brother, cousin, nephew, teammate, and friend.

Louie leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving parents, Arva (Ornese) Lumpkin-White and Randal White of Sandy Springs, GA; his siblings, Randal “Reese” White of Sandy Springs, GA; Bianca White George (Kameron) of East Point, GA; and Westley McKinnie (Candice) of Indianapolis, IN., niece, Parker McKinnie, Indianapolis, IN, nephew, Roman McKinnie, Indianapolis, IN, Harrison McKinnie, Indianapolis, IN. Immediate Aunts and Uncles, MarRonde Lumpkin-Lotson (Marcus), Savannah, GA, Reshonda Breckinridge (Richard) Indianapolis, IN, Rickie White (Stacey) Bloomington, IN, Reginald White (Maria) Bowie, MD. He is also remembered with love by his grandparents, Oliver and Farnese Lumpkin (deceased) of Savannah, GA, and Katie and Henry White (deceased) of Kokomo, IN; first-cousins Reginald “Hank” White of Cincinnati, OH, Omar White of Bloomington, IN, Ramar White of Laurel, MD, Maria Lotson of Charleston, SC, and Morgan Lotson of Savannah, GA; along with a host of beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives, classmates, co-workers, teammates, and lifelong friends.

Condolences and Memories

Louie & I met back in the summer of 2012/2013. For years after that, I began to associate him with summertime because that is when we would see each other the most. It always made sense in my head that with Summer comes Louie! I always knew before seeing him that I was going to be laughing a lot that day :) Louie was always someone you knew was a genuinely good person even when we were kids. I am so grateful to have gotten the pleasure of sharing so many core memories with him. Thanks for all the laughs L<3

Louie is the most special friend. He’s kind, he’s smart, he’s observant, he’s honest, but most importantly he is always there for the people he loves. I got to know Louie as a classmate, I watched him excel in school among our classmates, he truly is so smart and was so eager to learn. I loved sitting next to him in the classes we shared because he would always remind me that he would be there to help me if I needed it. But beyond that Louie is just such an amazing person. Such a light and a wonderful person to share memories with. I’ll never forget running around the Riverwood halls, taking the dogs out on the river, riding roller coasters together, all the parties, the endless car rides, I will cherish every memory. I got to watch you be the best brother, the best son, the best student, and the best friend a person could have. Miss and love you forever and ever. Rest Easy my dear friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Louie at Del Sur while in college. Louie was always so kind to everyone and always had the room laughing. Such a bright and cheerful friend to have around; he made everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and included.🩷
