At the age of 53, former Canterbury, Wests, and Illawarra hitman Kyle White passed away unexpectedly.
The well-liked forward, who was also a gifted musician, died away on Monday night in his sleep at his Penrith home.
White had a cult hero following in England, where he previously played for Widnes and Workington Town.
Former Australian Schoolboy representative White has struggled personally recently, but in the last year, he has begun to rebuild his life.
Josh White, the brother of former Wests and Illawarra halfback White, told Wide World of Sports, “It’s very sad.”
“He was conquering his demons, but he still had them.
“In a difficult time, he was a really courageous and gritty player who never looked back.
“His teammates loved him because they knew they could always count on him to give his all.”
