Obituary

Antoine White, a beloved son, brother and father, was called home to the Lord on April 28th 2017. He was a vibrant soul whose energy was felt by all who knew him. Antoine was taken from this earth far too soon and will be greatly missed. His smile and passion for life will live on through his daughter Amaya. He was survived by his mother Annie Corns, his father Alvin White, his grandmother Ruthella White, his stepfather Kenneth Corns, his two brothers Aaron White and Jason Corns and his sister Audra Corns, Uncles Al White, Mark White, James Windom, Clyde Taylor, Quincy “Peewee” Taylor, Aunts Ella Jimmie Coleman, Kay White and all their children and extended family. Antoine was born on April 29, 1979 at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, TX. His family moved to Austin, TX when he was 8 years old where he spent his childhood years. Antoine loved his siblings, always sharpening the edge of competition with his brothers all the while being the protector of his little sister. Throughout his life in Dallas, Antoine always wore a huge smile. It never failed that he was the first person to break out laughter in a crowded room. He had a big heart and his smile, just as his love, was contagious. An all around athlete, through his younger years he played all sports basketball being his favorite. Life being his playing field allowing him to keep that competitive edge. There’s no denying that Antoine had a love for music. He embodied this passion in his way of life. He introduced his brothers to the rap and hip hop culture and taught them how to walk the walk and talk the talk. His love for music will continue to live on throughout his youngest brother Jason Corns who is an aspiring hip hop artist. Antoine was an advocate for family. His proudest moment, was the day he became a father to his daughter Amaya. She was the greatest joy in his life. If you knew Antoine, you knew family came first. He was the water that fed the family tree, that strengthened the roots and encouraged growth. “When Great Trees Fall” When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid, promised walks never taken. Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent upon their nurture, now shrink, wizened. Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance, fall away. We are not so much maddened as reduced to the unutterable ignorance of dark, cold caves. And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.” ― Maya Angelou

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
