Daniel Roe White
Daniel Roe White, a life well lived, currently a resident of Ardmore, OK. where he worked side by side with his dad, Joseph Hoy White. Daniel Roe was born to parents Hoy and Kim White on Sept. 17th, 1987. He loved experiencing new situations all through his school years. He played baseball and participated in FFA. Following High School, Daniel Roe moved on into management at several places, he had an active Club out in Louisiana, and he accepted the managers position at the local Hammer-Heads convenience store. But Daniel Roe’s first love and all of his energy was invested into his love for God and his commitment to his Church. He attended church locally at the Assemblies of Gods, located on 2nd St, here in Tonkawa, OK. He studied hard and received his pastorate under the wise leadership of Kelly Coffee, and its here that the door was opened that offered Daniel Roe the opportunity to put together the youth group, “Overflow.” It is said, “You will know them by their fruits”, and this is to true and evident when looking at the Overflow. Daniel Roe led these young people through difficult times, and encouraged them always to look forward always, pressing on towards the mark. Overflow grew to full maturity, and produced some of the Spirit Filled people who are carrying the mantel today. Truly, we shall watch the fruit from Daniel Roe’s efforts continue to grow even decades from now.
