Devin White Siblings

Devin White has two younger sisters, Raynesha Standokes and Jada Greenard, and one older, late brother, J'Marco Greenard. Greenard was Standkois' son and there was a six-year age gap between the two. After his senior year of high school, Greenard won a state track championship, but after graduating, Greenard decided to join the Army rather than pursue a career in sports.

Prior to starting basic training, Greenard and the youth group from Mount Sariah Baptist Church visited a water park in Tyler, Texas. On June 11, 2011, at approximately 5:00 p.m., the church van's left rear tire blew out, and the van tumbled multiple times. Everyone in the van died, including Greenward, who was then 19 years old, according to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers website.

Raised in Cotton Valley, Louisiana, White was compelled by his circumstances to mature early, though horseback riding and sports gave him peace. Eventually, football became a refuge, a place where he could escape and sense his brother's presence. And so White aimed to make his brother proud by excelling in sports.
