Rustin Flint Roth

Rustin Flint Roth, age 7, passed away on March 4, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved him deeply and will carry his memory in their hearts forever.

Rustin was a bright and beautiful soul who brought joy to those around him in his own special ways. He especially loved watching the Cars movies and spending time with the characters that made him smile. As a nonverbal autistic child, Rustin experienced and shared the world differently, but those who knew him best understood the love, happiness, and light he expressed through his smiles, laughter, and quiet presence.

He had a gentle spirit that touched everyone around him. Rustin reminded those who loved him that connection does not always require words. Sometimes it is found in a favorite movie playing on repeat, a moment of laughter, or simply sitting close to the people who care about you most.

Rustin is survived by his loving mother, Ashton Huffman-Roth, and father, David Nowotny; his brothers, Brayden Huffman (Liz Hayes), Braxton Huffman, and Hunter Huffman; and his sister, Brooke Huffman (Karbon Flint). He is also survived by his grandmother, Lora Roth, and grandfather, Darren Jarvis. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Rustin Roth.

Though Rustin’s time here was far too short, the love he gave and the joy he brought into the lives of those around him will never fade. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, in the laughter of his siblings, and in every moment that reminds us of the happiness he found in the world around him. Like the cars he loved so much, Rustin’s spirit will always keep racing on in the hearts of those who love him.
