Dustin M. White, age 44, of Appleton, passed away on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, after courageously living with a lifelong heart condition.  Born on October 5, 1981, in Appleton to the late Jerry M. White and Debra (White) Manhart, Dustin graduated with high honors from Marion High School in 2000. He later moved to Appleton, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business and an Associate's Degree in Computer Programming and Computer Science.  Dustin was a highly motivated entrepreneur who owned and operated Millennium Innovations, working passionately in IT programming and web development.

Dustin was an extraordinary soul who loved deeply and laughed easily.  His warm smile, sharp wit, and playful spirit made him someone people naturally gravitated toward. He was a kid at heart and embraced every adventure with enthusiasm-whether it was attending Mile of Music, camping, hiking, traveling, disc golf, cheering for football, playing fantasy football, listening to live music, or spending late nights with friends around the campfire or gaming together.  His presence made every moment brighter.

He is survived by his loving mother, Debra of Fort Myers, FL; stepfather, Robert Manhart; and his beloved stepson, Sebastian Mendoza, whom he helped raise and cherished as his own.  He is also survived by his siblings, Jesse (Jenny) Boettcher; Dana Hintz of Clintonville; his nephews Athan and Kendl Boettcher; Evan and Colton Hintz; and his grandparents, Herbert and Marlys Tauchen of Bonduel.  Dustin leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends throughout the country who will forever feel the impact of his kindness, loyalty, and joy.

While no formal funeral services will be held at this time, the family will gather this summer for a celebration of life to honor this incredibly kind-hearted, loving and joyful man.
