Ryan Wayne White on his death today (December 6, 1971 – April 8, 1990). Michael Jackson wrote the song "Gone Too Soon" in Ryan White's honor. In 1984, White was diagnosed with AIDS at the age of 13 after he received a tainted blood treatment for hemophilia.

Surprising his doctors, Ryan White lived five years longer than predicted. He died on April 8, 1990 at the age of 18. RIP.
