Hi Dustin. I love .and miss you every day. This month was difficult for all of us. First, your birthday on the 17th, then your Mom's birthday on the 18th, and of course to day, October 27th, the day you left us two years ago. I will always treasure the time you visited us in Florida, even bringing your dialysis machine with you. You took some awesome pictures, especially the ones of the Eagle sitting in the top of that very tall tree. When I asked how you knew when the Eagle was there, you said you could hear him fly in. Apparently you could hear him because every time you told me "Mom Mom, the Eagle is back" I would go outside to look and sure enough the Eagle was back. Sometimes I can close my eyes and imagine I see you right there with me with that ornery grin you had. You were always special and I will love you forever. Love, Mom Mom

It's so hard to believe that it was two years ago today that you left us Dustin. It was the worst day of my life and the passing of time has not made it any easier to accept. We love you and think about you all the time. We would give anything to have you back again, even for only a moment. The only thing that helps is knowing that you are no longer suffering. Today, your mom, pop pop, Brandon, Dylan and I rode in a hot air balloon in your honor. We hope that you were there with us to enjoy the ride or that we were at least able to be a little closer to you.

Looking at this picture of Dustin makes me think of how quiet he was around me when I picked him up for summerschool, or when he was over the house hanging around with Marcus. But we know Dustin was always causing trouble somewhere. The funniest time I remember is when he called and said he could not go to summer school because he flooded the house....and he REALLY did! He was a wonderful friend to my Marcus. We miss him lots!
Uncle Mike & Aunt Sandy left a message on January 5, 2015:
Another Christmas has passed without you. So many people's lives seem to have gone back to normal . . . and yet ours has been left with a sadness that seems to deepen with time. We can't even begin to imagine the depth of the grief and loss your mom and dad and brothers feel. The strength and courage they have shown over the past year leaves us feeling very selfish for missing you so much. Even with that strength and courage, your loss is still so evident in their eyes. You are missed beyond words, and loved even more, today and forever.

I can't believe this I was just talking to you the other day. You promised me we would play Gta toeghther, you always found a way to make me laugh no matter what. If I made a status and said I was feeling sad or I was in a bad mood, you were always the first one to text me and make sure I was okay. You will be truly missed by me and many. I'm so glad I got the chance to meet you. You are such an amazing person. RIP hubby

Lindsey Withee left a message on November 11, 2013:
I can't stop thinking about all the good times we've had together. You were the first friend I had when I moved to Maryland. I remember when we use to go down to the creek for hours and make clay bowls. You slept over every weekend and we'd sneak out at night. Sometimes you would just walk into my house and open up my fridge. We use to get into so much sh*t together. And of course I can never forget that time we found those habanero peppers and I got the juice in my eye. Your mom picked me up by my waist and ran to my house. My eye is still f**ked up because of that... Even when we got older, we were still friends. Whenever I was upset you would come over and sit in my driveway with me. We told each other things that we could never tell anyone else. You are the most selfless person I have ever met. It wasn't until last summer that I found out about your kidney disease. And you weren't even the one that told me. I was so mad at you for not telling me, and you just laughed and said "sorry." You were always happy no matter how sick you felt. Never complained about anything. I will never be able to forget about all the memories that we have growing up together. And what a lot of people don't know, you were my first kiss. I loved living down the street from you for all these years. Whenever I saw your bedroom light on, I'd always call you.. And I wish I could call you now. I love you so much. And I'm glad I always told you that. Rest in peace, Dustin.

Still can't believe Matt's best friend, our best man in our wedding is now an angel. We were just with Dustin bowling. That kid always had a smile on his face. It's so hard as a parent hearing your little girl ask about uncle Dustin and trying to tell her that uncle Dustin is watching over her now. RIP Dustin, watch over our little girls
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

These past few days have felt unbearable. It still feels unreal that you're actually gone, I'm gonna miss you being right across from my house. Being with your family these past few days has been nice, we have all been reminiscing about all the crazy stupid things you did. You were loved so much, you are finally at peace now and you deserve that. I know I have an angel looking down on me, thanks for all the memories and for always getting me in trouble, you always have been and always will be like a big brother to me. I love & miss you Dustin. Rest in peace.

Dude, I'm sittin here catching up on the walking dead. I can't help but think of when the first season came out on red box. I stayed at your house that night so we could get it. We started in Newark, and had to go to every redbox between there and Joppa to find it. We were so excited you were flying home, and got pulled over coming across the bridge....well, I saw that cop again, and he remembered it...crazy times. I miss you man. You weren't even able to shoot my gun yet.
Travis Wilson left a message on November 11, 2013:

Rest peacefully bud you will be plenty missed and never forgotten.

Steve, Terry and Family, I never met Dustin but I feel that I have known him these past 22 years. Having worked with Steve for more than 25 years, we have grown up with each others children. It seemed that Steve always had another "Dustin story" on Monday mornings. We all enjoyed hearing about the creative mischief that he could dream up. It is these happy times that you willalways hold in your hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

What a beautiful tribute to Dustin on November 1, 2013. He and his entire family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers. We also have many memories of Dustin swimming and doing some crazy belly-flops! It is so true that we need to look at Dustin's life and live our own as he lived his! Of course, no one will ever have his mischeivious grin. Aunt Alice and Uncle Bill
Ruth Potter left a message on November 4, 2013:
Dustin, it is so unreal that you are no longer on this earth. I pray that you are no longer feeling the pain you went through during the past four years. During the services in your honor there were numerous stories about you, all of which were comforting to those of us who love you so much. But I just want to tell a true story about you that was told to me by your Mom. You and your Mom were skiing in West Virginia. The weather turned worse and there was no way cars could get to where you were to be picked up. The only way to get down the mountain was to walk. Your Mom said she told you she was so tired she could not make the walk. You told her yes you can. I will carry your skis and help you. Your Mom said she was crying and insisted she could not go any further. You insisted she could and with your love and support both of you made it down the mountain. Your Mom was so proud of you when she told me. This was after your kidney problems had started and even though you were not feeling well, you were the strong one supporting your Mom. You are so special. You were the strong one on that day and you showed the same strength as you fought to overcome your illness. I will always love you and miss you. May you rest in peace, without pain, ln heaven

Dustin, I miss you already. It was hard hearing the news at work because I always hoped you would come back to joke with me sometime like old times. I know you are in a beautiful place because you were such a great person. You were one of my first friends at Lorien because we were both so quiet, but that quickly changed.haha My heart is with your family and I will think of you often. I miss you buddy. God Bless

Dustin left us many funny memories. I remember his quiet smile and twinkle in his eyes.but I always knew him and Marcus where up to something. And I caught them in the act several times. His passing is a great loss to us all. He touched my whole families heart. He will be greatly missed! But Justin is now..out of pain and illness and His soul is at peace with Jesus Christ along with Taylor. Our pain is their gain. May God give your family the strength to continue on in your life until we are all reunited again!

Sandy Murray left a message on October 31, 2013:
I keep waiting for the words to come, but they don't. I keep thinking that each day will get easier, but each day brings more tears. I keep thinking this isn't really happening, but it has. I know you were tired, but I would have given you strength. I know you were ready, but I wasn't. I know you are at peace, but I can't seem to find it. I am so very selfish, but I need you. I need you to tell me that you're okay. I need to know that you can sleep without pain. I need to know that you know how very much I love you. I need your strength. I need your courage. I need to know how to help your mom and dad and brothers. I need to know how to set my own heartache aside and be there for others who love you too. But more than anything . . . I need you to smile; I need you to laugh; I need you to let God see that look in your eyes that appears just before you do or say something that leaves us all wondering 'what was he thinking?'; I need you to know that we'll be okay; I need you to know that you are and always will be a part of each and every one of us; I need you to know that hearing you say "I love you" will forever stay in our hearts. May you find comfort in Heaven and peace in the hands of our Lord and Savior, and may you always know that we are smiling up at you, just as we know you are smiling down at us. Thank you for being 'my’ Dustin and for being 'you'. Thank you for making me feel better just talking to you now. I love you. Aunt Sandy P.S. Can you make sure you remember to feed Annie and Yoder tonight? Somehow you always managed to be doing something else when it was time for their dinner. :-)

Hauk Family, I only knew Dustin from a season of cross country we had together at RSHS. Even though I didn't know Dustin well hearing of his passing really hit me. Life is such a gift from God and to hear of that ending for a guy my age is heartbreaking. I am praying for your family and hope that you can be comforted by the love of Jesus Christ. Talking about the grace and love of Jesus is the only worthwhile thing I feel I can say to your family at this time. My heart breaks for your family and I will sincerely be praying for comfort for you guys. Love, Tedd Holbrook

Dear Steve, Terry, Brandon and Dylan: My deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear son and brother. Although I never met Dustin, Steve's workplace updates of his valiant struggle with kidney disease was truly inspirational. He was a real fighter. There is really nothing anyone can say to ease the pain of loosing a child.

Let me start by offering my deepest condolences and prayers to your family. Steve use to always talk about Dustin and update me about what was going on with him. Once Steve mentioned about a big screen TV that the only thing he took away when he wanted to move out, I thought that was really funny. Steve use to always worry about him and tried his absolute best to care of Dustin. Whenever I use to go over Steve's desk I use to always like seeing pictures of his Son's including Dustin's. It was a great to see the three siblings and there happy faces. Dustin will be in our thoughts and prayers may his soul rest in peace. Regards, Sidd

Dustin was an extraordinary guy. I never really spoke to him, or became friends...but I knew of him! And he was so full of life and smart and funny. It's sad to see bright light of life leave this world. But we have to remember we will see him again someday. Like Carrie Underwoods song " See You Again". We all just have to hold our heads high because he would want us to stay strong and live the life that God has planned for us all! God Bless.
