Coby White has the initials "FMF" tattooed on the inside of his right arm. The tattoo is a tribute to his father, Donald White, who died from liver cancer in 2017, when Coby was 17 years old. White wrote a piece about his father for the Player's Tribute, where he talked about the significance of the initials and the design of the tattoo:
"Anytime I post on Instagram, I include the letters FMF — For My Father — at the end. And this past year I got those letters tatted on me, along with the Roman numerals of the day that my dad passed. I will think about him before and after every single game I play in the league. That’s not even a question."
