Dennis R. White, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed from this life on June 14, 2025, just days before his 77th birthday.
Born on June 27, 1948, Dennis was a lifelong resident of Utah and a proud graduate of the University of Utah College of Pharmacy, Class of 1972. He devoted his professional life to the field of pharmacy, where he served the people of the Salt Lake Valley as a pharmacist. His dedication to the field of Pharmacy was more than just a career, Dennis also spent many years heavily involved with the Utah Pharmaceutical Association and a decade on the Utah State Board of Pharmacy.
Dennis was sealed to his wife of 55 years, Cheri Lynn Voyce, in the Salt Lake City Temple. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, service, and adventure. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Dennis held numerous callings throughout his life and was known for his quiet strength and dry wit.
There were few things Dennis looked forward to more than yard work and traveling. Dennis found great joy in his yard whether tending to his many rose bushes or mowing his lawn three times a week and trying to keep the leaves out of his waterfall pond. The only thing that could take him away from his yard was the opportunity to travel. Dennis and Cheri visited 6 of the 7 continents and more countries than we could count. He always had his camera in tow and came home with some of the most amazing photos, which he then spent hours compiling into the photo books that lined the bookshelves of the home they shared. His last trip was to Fairbanks, Alaska to see the Northern Lights.
Dennis is survived by his wife, Cheri; his sons, Michael (Stephanie) and Greg (Joey); and his grandchildren: Nathan, Alex, Adalyn, Brielle, Connor, and Dylan. He is also survived by his brothers Ross (Ron) and Craig (Cherri), and sister-in-law Carol as well as many extended family members and beloved friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Jessie, his brother Glynn, and nephew Bryan.

My sincere condolences to the White family. Dennis was a supper neighbor while he was living in Sandy. He was . Very down to earth and friendly. I always loved his passion to mow his lawn and taking care of his yard and rose garden!
I was very sad to hear about the passing of my cousin Dennis. He was a great cousin and a lot of fun. I have so many memories of him when they were young kids and we would come from California to visit. He is a super individual and I can’t be more proud than to call him, my cousin. I know he’s in a better place and free of his pain.

My most cherished memories of Dennis and his family was when I was around 13yrs old visiting them from California his house had the coolest basement!!!! A kids dream play ground......he had not one but 2 pinball machines, a pool table and video game systems from atrai, Nintendo, super Nintendo along with sodas and late night movies with Mike and Gregory...... he was always very kind and giving a peaceful well traveled and intelligent uncle.

We send lots of love and prayer to everyone. May he rest in peace. Our deepest condolences. 🙏
My family would come from California and visit my Uncle Tom and Aunt Jesse a lot throughout our lives. Since Dennis and I were the same age, we were together constantly during our visit and there are so many memories to share with that visit.. we would always stay and sleep in the basement and that is where all the havoc ensued. It was a crazy time! I will miss Dennis, but I have the greatest memories of him and The Whites in Midvale, UT. Rest in peace, cousin Dennis.
