Wayne Sylvester White Nagadome, an enigma

October 22, 2018

Wayne Sylvester White Nagadome, 63, of Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away at home Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, surrounded by his family.

He was born Aug. 10, 1955, in Lewes, son of the late Ruddell Ward and Margaret White.

Wayne attended Cape Henlopen High School, but graduated from Hayfield Secondary High School in Alexandria, Va., in 1975. Shortly after, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, and served two tours of duty in Korea. Wayne always had a smile, a joke, a wonderful wit, and sarcasm that would place a smile on all he met. He was an enigma, and he traveled the world, living life to the fullest. Wayne spoke seven different languages, and had many different skill sets, which led to several degrees, certifications, and employment in a variety of different fields. His last employment was with Skywest Airlines, where he worked as a fleet service agent. 

Wayne is survived by his wife of 18 years, Ritsue Nagadome of Salt Lake City; three sons, BJ Oakford of Melbourne, Australia, Cordy and James, both of Salt Lake City; two daughters, Hadgui White (George) of Lincoln and Hi’D Nagadome of Salt Lake City; two sisters, Amelia Frazier (James) and Yvonne White, both of Rehoboth Beach; five brothers, Paris White of Laurel, Marvin White (Debbie) and William White (Martha), both of Lincoln, Carl White of Ellendale, and Thomas White (Pamala) of Bridgeville; six aunts, Ellen Harmon and Katherine Perry both of Dover, Evelyn Waples of Millsboro, Bernice Lewis (James) of Lewes, Ruth White of Milford and Charlotte White of Lewes; two uncles, Robert White - also a second father to Wayne, (Eloise) of York, Pa., and Samuel White of Milton; one granddaughter, Kristin Hardy of Lincoln; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Services will be held at Wesley Chapel UM Church, 23115 Slaughter Neck Road, Lincoln, at 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 27. Friends may call at the church two hours before the service.

Service of comfort and love: Miller Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 11475 Commercial Lane - C, Laurel.
