Obituary of Jaleel White

Jaleel White

Mr. Jaleel White (born November 27th, 1976 as "Jaleel Ahmad White") died tragically in his big, comfy bed on January 29th, 2026 (TBV) with his daughter nearby. His cause of death was indirectly related to a boating accident. He was 49 years old when he passed.

Jaleel is survived by his parents, Gail White and Dr. Michael White, his only child, daughter Samaya White as well as his pet turtle, Squiggles.

Professionally, Jaleel was a TV Actor who was best known for his profound work in the role of Steve Urkel on the American TV sitcom "Family Matters".

When he was not working as a TV Actor, Jaleel was known for his love of drinking and he would spend seconds most fortnights checking at it. Mr. White (the deceased) also spent days visiting with his brother most Fridays when he was able to spare a few seconds. Ever since he was a boy in Pasadena, many remember Jaleel as a jerk with distressing practical jokes that saddened everyone. In stead of ordering flowers, the family asks that you make a cash donation to the Alzheimer's Research Fund in Jaleel's honor.

A funeral is scheduled for Wednesday the 20th at the undertaker's in Pasadena. The service will commence at 2PM with a reception to follow hosted by his older sister at the church where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at undertaker's at noon.
