Benjamin Michael White was born on December 12, 1974, to Michael White and Wanda Michels. He joined his big sister, Gina (Frog-a-logs) at his birth. Benjamin “Ben,” was eighteen years old when he became a big brother to his brother, Jack, who was the “apple of Ben’s eye”.
Ben grew up in Worthington, MN, and Rochester, MN, but called a few other Minnesota cities home over his childhood as well. He attended and graduated from Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls. After high school, he continued his education and went on to receive his business degree. Ben also studied for and earned his realtors’ license.
Ben was very ambitious and was successful at most everything he attempted. After he received his business degree and realtors’ license, he became a very successful businessman, realtor, and property manager. Somewhere along the line, Ben found time to perfect his martial arts skills and achieved the level of 1st Degree Black Belt.
Ben cherished his life composed of the things that he loved the most such as dogs, children, his momma, football, and his savior Jesus.
Ben leaves behind his momma, Wanda; his dad, Michael; his five siblings, Gina, Jack, Jesse, Aaron, and Taylor; his niece, Courtney; nephew, Jordan; and his many friends: Mick, Bryon, Jerry, Jon, and so many more.
Ben will always be in our hearts and will be cherished forever.
Ben I remember when you first got your license! You were so full of life and excitement! Your smile and energy will be greatly missed!

Ben I’ll never forget the time you spent in hills..your sister and I were very close friends in high school. you had a smile on your face always. Throughout the years we have crossed each others paths you have always been such a nice guy and contagious smile. U will be missed greatly.
I just found this about Ben. Ben, Gina, and I went to high school together. I saw Ben at Royal Fork in Sioux Falls in 2017- he told me about his schooling and becoming a realtor- I was proud of him for his successful schooling and happy for him. Gina- I am sad about the loss of your brother many years ago, and people (including me) are still thinking about the good memories he provided. I am so happy to hear that he found Jesus. Blessings to you and your family members. Heather (Anderson) Dickson LHS class of 1991
