Mr. Michael Edward White, age 40, of Melrose Ma, formerly of Saugus, passed away peacefully on Saturday February 2 following a brief illness. Michael's loving mother Kim and sister Nicole were at his side, as were several close friends.

Mike was a 1998 graduate of Northeast Vocational and Technical High School in Wakefied Ma. He worked as a cable installer for JT Wiring of Hudson NH.
