Lebanon, NH – Joshua Gaston White, 35, passed away on Wednesday afternoon, March 15, 2023, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer.

Joshua was born on August 8th, 1987, in Portsmouth, NH, the son of Patrick V. and Monica (Wood) White. He graduated from York High School in 2005, and went on to earn his associate degree in information technology at York Community College.

Joshua had a passion for French cuisine and spent his formative years visiting his grandparents' chalet and villa in France. He loved the quiet of the countryside and embraced the French culture whenever he could.

In addition to his love of food, Joshua enjoyed cooking and worked at Ruby's Restaurant in York throughout high school and college. His famous chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls were a cherished treat among friends and family, especially during the holiday season.

In 2011, Joshua moved to the Upper Valley area of New Hampshire to start his career in technology working at the Medical School of Dartmouth College. He later transferred to the Tuck Business School at Dartmouth, where he worked as an information technology analyst until his illness forced him to leave. During his time in the Upper Valley, he lived next to his cousin and wife, becoming a close friend and advisor to their three daughters.

He loved animes like Overlord and was an avid gamer. His ability to focus and learn allowed him to master video games. Some of his best times were playing games like Ultima Online with his brother and cousins. Despite his expertise, Joshua remained humble and appreciative when playing with others. Joshua also loved playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends and family. He was a skilled Dungeon Master and had a unique ability to navigate the twists and turns of a story with grace and creativity. He loved to add unexpected twists to keep his best friends guessing and was happiest when those around him were smiling and having fun.

His kind and caring spirit led him to volunteer yearly in "Extra Life", a continuous 24-hour gaming event to help raise money for children's cancer research.

During his own battle with cancer, Joshua's bravery, and concern for others around him never wavered. He never complained about his pain or felt sorry for himself; instead, he always let his love and kindness shine through. Spending time with his nieces and nephews, whom he dearly loved, brought him some of his greatest joy.

Joshua is survived by his parents, Patrick and Monica White of York, ME, grandmothers, Regina Wood and Josiane Dossu, brothers, Nicholas A. White, his wife Colleen, and their children Luchien and Olivia of Wakefield, NH, Jame Van Nest, wife Samantha, and their children Cael and Maeve of Dorchester NH, cousin and close friend Loren, his wife Bri, and their children Violet, Ava, and Olive, as well as uncles, aunts, and countless friends and co-workers from Tuck School of Business and Dartmouth College.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in Quechee, VT at his uncle and aunt's home. Memorial contributions may be made to Joshua's favorite charity https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donate.event&eventID=553 or any non-profit cancer-related charity or hospital of your choice, such as St. Jude Children's Hospital or American Cancer Society.
