James White celebrates son's birthday with touching tribute to his father

James White’s young son, Xzavier, turned one on Tuesday. The New England Patriots running back found a beautiful way to wish him a happy birthday while also paying tribute to his late father, Tyrone, who was tragically killed in a car crash on Sunday. White’s mother, Lisa, was also critically injured in the crash.

White shared a picture of Tyrone holding him when he was a baby, and a picture of himself holding little Xzavier.

Happy 1st birthday Xzavier! I hope I can be as good of a father to you as my father was to my brother and I!
