Where is Reggie White buried? All about late Eagles legend's grave

Reggie White was one of the best defensive ends to have ever graced the NFL. He played in the big league for 15 years from 1985 to 2000 and had stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers.

White, known as the "the Minister of Defense," died on Dec. 26, 2004, aged 43. Reports later confirmed that he died following a cardiac arrhythmia caused by sarcoidosis, which is a respiratory ailment.

Following his death, White, who was a strong believer in Christianity, was buried at Glenwood Memorial Park in Mooresville, North Carolina. The Pro Football Hall of Famer had settled in Cornelius near Charlotte after his final NFL season with the Carolina Panthers.

White was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He attended Howard High School and later committed to the University of Tennessee.

During his college football days with the Volunteers, White involved himself with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In his sophomore year, the defensive end wanted to become an evangelist. However, he later became an ordained Baptist minister.
