IN MEMORY OF DANNY-SUPPORT FOR SPARKY

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Danny White on June 3, 2025 from stage 4 Oesophageal Cancer.

A gifted character actor and Assistant director with the most beautiful smile and a warmth that lit up every room, Danny was impossible not to love. Those who knew him never saw him angry, only full of kindness, humor, and grace.

While building his career, Danny and his beloved wife, Sparky, raised two incredible daughters—Chandler and Valencia—together. Since the beginning of 2024 Sparky has been bravely battling pancreatic cancer, surpassing the few months she was initially given. Throughout it all, Danny stood faithfully by her side, calling her his “beautiful pan-can warrior.”

It is unimaginable that in the midst of her fight, Danny himself would be diagnosed with cancer earlier this year—and now, devastatingly, he is gone.

Life is not fair, but what this family has endured is beyond what anyone should ever have to face.

Sparky—who many of us in the production world know as a brilliant, funny, badass producer—now faces her own ongoing health battle while grieving the loss of her soulmate.

If you’re able to contribute—whether a little or a lot—it would mean so much. Donations will go toward the overwhelming medical and living expenses now facing this incredible family.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.
