He was originally from Cranmoor, WI.
"Desota" is not a place - I think they mean DeSoto, WI

I believe he went to Lincoln HS but he doesn't seem to be in the yearbook.

The year before he went missing he had a lot of accidents and duis. Here’s just one: Drinking he was injured in at least two of the accidents.

Heres an article about him being missing Missing

They found some items of his clothing near his mom’s house in brown, sheriffs thought it likely hunters would find him. He was busted for a small theft (a shovel and some antifreeze) so yes, between that and duis he was in trouble, but not that much.

I’d like to know the mom’s address so we can focus near there.

Looks like the missing from information is wrong - he's missing from De Soto, not Wisconsin Rapids. The article above said they checked the bluffs and woods along WI-82, thing is, in De Soto these days that's smack dab in the middle of civilization. No woods or forests of any substance. Ignore me about his mom's house. It was the Ed Brown House, but I have no idea where that was.
