Clint Presley White

Clint was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1972 to Charles and Ann Rukavina. In 1977, he and his older brother, Eric, were adopted by their step-father Donald White along with his son, James.

Clint and his brothers were always playing together with new adventures. In 1976, his new family moved to Albuquerque, NM where, in 1977, a new brother, Troy, was added to their family and in 1979, a sister, Charise. The family moved to Sidney, MT where Cassaundra (Cassie) was born 1983.

Clint graduated from Sidney High School and after graduation, joined the Air Force during the first Gulf War where he worked on the stealth bombers. In 1995, he married Aletha Hart and became father to Bailey and Patrick Voss. They had two daughters, Ceanna and MacKenzie. Clint worked as a beekeeper and drove trucks.

Clint moved to Powell, WY to work with his mother and sister, Charise, in their business, White Ink Printing. He went to Northwest College to help him learn the business. Clint was sharp and was able to quickly learn not only about printing but was very good with computers and IT. There was nothing he couldn’t figure out how to fix, make or do. Together, they built a successful business where they not only did printing but also shipping. Clint loved working with the people of Powell and surrounding areas and cared about everyone. He was especially happy and proud when they were able to grow and expand the business. He will be so missed.

In the first part of March, Clint experienced an accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. This damaged his mind and affected his mental health. He was not able to fully function and passed away from it’s affects.

Clint had a huge heart and was always willing to help someone who might be in need. Clint was known for his compassion and love of children and his quick witted sense of humor. He always cared about his family and was the loved “Uncle Clint”. He loved his two grand-babies Rhett and Aurora fiercely. Even as a little boy, he was always the one holding the baby in every picture.
