Katey Sagal and her son, Jackson White, grieve the loss of Jackson’s father, Jack White.
Tell Me Lies star Jackson White is in mourning.
The actor’s dad Jack White—who was married to Katey Sagal from 1993 to 2000—has died, Jackson shared July 16. He was 70.
The drummer’s cause of death has not been revealed.
“This guy taught me everything,” Jackson wrote on Instagram alongside family photos and a video of Jack drumming. “We had ups and downs, as a man has with their father. But in the end it was just love.”
The 28-year-old noted that his dad (not to be confused with White Stripes rocker Jack White) is no longer in pain.
“He was an open book, a fighter, genuinely the funniest person my sister and I knew,” Jackson wrote, “and single handedly invented the loudest most powerful back beat of any drummer I’ve ever seen.”
The actor continued, “And we get to remember him, 6 foot 4 with a denim shirt and a Starbucks muffin, driving us around, teaching us every important song ever written. I’m wearing his shoes every day. Not a metaphor he had really cool shoes. Big Jack White. 1954-2024. I love you dad forever.”
