Daniel Patrick White, III passed away peacefully in his sleep with the love of his life by his side on October 1, 2020, after a brief, courageous battle with cancer.

In 1992 he moved to San Francisco with Robertson Stephens. He embraced and thrived on the challenges of his work and was always eager to mentor others into his profession.

He and Julie loved the Bay area, rooting themselves in Novato to raise their family. Years of community service followed as they actively supported St. Isabella’s Church & School and Marin Country Club Board. His deep loyalty to ethical principles and other people were the hallmarks of his life.
Dan’s loved sports and coaching in Youth programs. Leading his own kids, and others, in Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer, he could teach the value of fair play and in both games and life.
