Clint was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1972 to Charles and Ann Rukavina. In 1977, he and his older brother, Eric, were adopted by their stepfather 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, New Mexico, where, in 1977, a new brother, Troy, was added to their family and in 1979, a sister, Charise. The family moved to Sidney, Montana, where Cassaundra (Cassie) was born in 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, Wyoming, 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 its effects.
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 grandbabies Rhett and Aurora fiercely. Even as a little boy, he was always the one holding the baby in every picture. Clint was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many capacities such as Ward Mission Leader and most recently Elders Quorum Instructor.
Clint is survived by his children, Bailey (Tanner) Willard of Rochester, Minnesota; Patrick (Mandy) Voss of Branson, Missouri; Ceanna White of Powell, Wyoming; MacKenzie White of Rochester, Minnesota; grandchildren Rhett and Aurora Willard of Rochester, Minnesota; his children’s mother, Aletha Hart of Sidney, Montana; mother, Ann White of Powell, Wyoming; brothers, Eric (Emily) White of San Antonio, Texas; James White of Brandon, South Dakota; Troy White of Powell, Wyoming; sisters, Charise (Russell) Rose, Powell, Wyoming; Cassie (Kevin) Glenn of Powell, Wyoming, and many loved nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
