Kenneth White, 64, of Fairfax, died Thursday, May 14, at his residence, and M.F. Riley’s Funeral Home said arrangements are still incomplete. The funeral home asked the community to keep the White family lifted in prayer as it prepares to announce service details later.

White’s obituary is part of the public record at M.F. Riley’s Funeral Home in Fairfax, where recent death notices have been posted in close succession. The listing places White’s name alongside other recent local obituaries, including Dinar Drayton Robinson, Deloris White, Nathaniel Bryant, Leon Rivers Jr., Keith Lamont Franklin, Patricia Smith Allen and Timmie McMillan, underscoring how active the funeral home’s record has been this spring.

For Allendale County readers, the notice carries the weight that small-town death announcements often do. Fairfax is one of the county’s center points, and in a town with a 2020 population of about 1,622, or 1,505 in the Census-based count, a single obituary can ripple through churches, extended families, neighborhoods and longtime friendships. White’s death now enters that shared local record, where many residents first learn of a loss and begin reaching out.

M.F. Riley’s Funeral Home is located at 1214 Hampton Ave. S. in Fairfax, and its obituary page includes an email address for condolences, mfrileysfuneralhome@yahoo.com. Those details give neighbors a direct way to respond while the family finalizes plans. The funeral home said the service announcement will come later, leaving the community with the first formal notice of White’s passing and a clear signal that his family’s next steps are still ahead.
