Aubrey White Obituary

Aubrey D. White

January 20, 1938 - March 28, 2026

Lexington, South Carolina - Aubrey D. "Gus" White, 88, of Cayce, passed away quietly on March 28, 2026. Mr. White was a proud member of State Street Baptist Church in Cayce. He had two careers that he proudly served in, the United States Air Force and the United States Postal Service. The Air Force took him extensively through Europe and Asia. He was a Vietnam Vet, where he served with Honor and Distinction. His Postal Service took him all over Cayce and West Columbia where many people knew him as their friendly Postman and he made life-long friends. He was a Master Mason, active in Scottish and York Rites. "Gus" was also a proud member of the American Legion serving as Chaplain for many years.

His life was one of service and sacrifice to his Nation and community and was a great example to his sons, David, JC, and others. He is survived by his loving wife Helen of 68 years. He is also survived by David and his wife Cathy, JC and his wife Lorrie, and adopted sons JD Walker and Michael Gringmuth. His grandchildren include Krystal and Anna (David), and Cullen, Kaitlen, Beth and Tyler (JC). He is also survived by his brother Charlie White and his wife Colleen of Caspar, Wyoming. He has two brother-in-laws, Jim and Evald who he was close to throughout his life. He was an Uncle to many nephews and nieces whom he loved dearly.

A man who dedicated his entire life to serving others, whether through his military service, his faith, or simply being the friendly face delivering the mail. He was a good man who loved his Nation, his family, and his faith. He was kind and generous in spirit and with his time. He will be missed.

A funeral service will be held on Monday, April 6, 2026, 12 p.m., at State Street Baptist Church with a visitation one hour prior. The burial will take place at Fort Jackson National Cemetery at 2 p.m.
