The Measured By Character nonprofit program was established in August of 2015 by Dr. Wade White of Denton, Texas following the tragic death of his 18 year old son Ryan Blakely White (RBW) who died in an automobile accident in Aubrey, Texas on Good Friday, April 6th 2012, just weeks away from his high school graduation.
Following Ryan's death, the volume of people who shared with the White Family how their lives were touched and impacted by Ryan's life, by his character, was so great that it brought an immeasurable amount of comfort to the family. It also brought an acute awareness to the fact that every single human being, no matter their age, makes an impression on others throughout their lives.
Each and every one of us are truly Measured By our Character, and the impact that our character has on others, is our legacy.
