Randy White, husband of country legend Lorrie Morgan, passed away aged 72.
Morgan shared the news of his passing on X.
“Randy has been my partner, my champion and my rock for 17 years,” she wrote alongside a picture of the two standing in front of the Grand Ole Opry. “Our big, wonderful family and I are devastated at the loss of this truly kind and incredible man. I was blessed by his love. Ran-Ran, I will love and miss you forever.”
White was diagnosed with mouth cancer a year prior to his passing.
Morgan’s manager disclosed her husband’s diagnosis to the public and also announced that the singer had canceled her April tour due to his health condition.
“Morgan’s husband of nearly 15 years, Randy White, has been undergoing treatment for mouth cancer,” the statement read. “White has been readmitted to a hospital in Middle Tennessee.”
Morgan’s son and country singer Jesse Keith Whitley shared a tribute to White on his Facebook page. “As I sit here in the room with hospice, I don’t know really what to think or to say about this situation. But, I can say that the recent years of my life all the way back to when I was 22-23 years old, this great man has been here and loved my mom, and also me & my sister as [if] we were his own.”
His post continued: “He has been the best grandfather for my kids they could ever ask for… He has shown unconditional love to my mother and been the most gentle soul to ever grace this entire family. As we say our goodbyes, I reminisce of all the good times we have had & the battles he has helped overcome.”
Lorrie Morgan was married six times and White’s passing marks the second time she has lost a husband.
Morgan was married to country music singer Keith Whitley from 1986 until 1989 when he died from alcohol poisoning at the age of 34.
