Katey Sagal’s ex-husband and drummer Jack White has died, son Jackson White says
“Tell Me Lies” and “Pet Sematary: Bloodlines” star Jackson White is sharing the unfortunate news of the death of his father, Jack Cameron White.
Jack White was Katey Sagal’s ex-husband as well as a drummer and actor from “Sons of Anarchy” and the ABC and CMT series “Nashville.”
“This guy taught me everything. We had ups and downs, as a man has with their father. But in the end it was just love,” Jackson White wrote in the caption of an Instagram post Tuesday.
“He was an open book, a fighter, genuinely the funniest person my sister and I knew, and single handedly invented the loudest most powerful back beat of any drummer I’ve ever seen.”
White added, “He’s not in pain anymore. 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.”
The post included archival videos and photos of his dad, who played with dozens of musicians, most notably Rick Springfield in 1976, the early ’80s and the ’90s through the early 2000s, per Jack White’s website.
He and Sagal were married in the 1990s and shared children Sarah and Jackson.
Sagal commented on her son’s post, writing, “Beautiful Jackson and Beautiful Sarah I will always be grateful to your dad for you! Thank you Jack❤️🙏 Finally free.”
