White was born on May 17, 1977, in Fort Worth, Texas. His mother worked at General Motors, and his parents separated early in his life. At the age of five, he was injured in an accident when the lid of a washing machine suddenly opened, causing him to fall inside and suffer severe injuries to his lower body. Two years later, he lost his right eye and began wearing an ocular prosthesis. Due to his health complications, he was educated by a private tutor until sixth grade.
