James is one of them. Kind, gentle, loving, fiercely competitive and hardworking. His parents raised an amazing son. And we are all grieving with James as he is going through this difficult time. Love you my friend

James White grew up with awesome parents. They allowed his best friend, Giovani Bernard, to move in when his family had problems and he needed a place to stay. He was previously sleeping in a car.

White's dad was also his first football coach. My heart goes out to his family.

Between Bill Belichick’s mom and James White’s father, it’s been a difficult week for the #Patriots. Condolences to all. Praying for White’s mother, who is in critical condition after a severe car crash, which took White’s fathers life.
