# Former WWE Referee Tim White Passes Away

We are saddened to learn that veteran referee Tim White has passed away at the age of 68.

[WWE](https://www.wwe.com/article/wwe-referee-tim-white-passes-away) confirmed the news earlier today.

White started as a part-time referee in 1985, while working as an agent for Andre The Giant. He went on to officiate a number of influential matches, including the Undertaker vs Mankind Hell in a Cell match at King of the Ring 1998.

Following a shoulder injury in 2002, White transitioned into a backstage role, working behind the scenes as an official and talent agent until his WWE departure in 2009.

From everyone here at [WrestleTalk](https://wrestletalk.com/), we extend our deepest condolences to the friends, family, and fans of Tim White.
