My son Joe Mack Crow was friends with Dustin. He spoke of him often. Joe Mack was killed in June 2007 in a car wreck. As I looked over his phone calls the last day of his life one of them was to Dustin. I called and talked to Dustin, he was so sweet and kind. God be with you, the road will never get clear, but it will get easier. Hard to believe that now, but with God's help you can go through this. Please feel free to Call me at anytime if you need someone to talk to. Prayers and thoughts with you all. In the love of Christ, lynn crow

To Dustin's family and fiancée:
I am so sorry for your loss! I worked with Dustin several years ago and will miss his smiling face. There weren't many days that saw him without a smile. He was funny, loving and always had a joke or prank up his sleeve. Always kept us guessing. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of sadness. Remember he is in a much better place.

Traci, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and David aas I learned of Dustin's death. I remember him so well at the apartment in Athens where Lisa lived when Lauren was born. I have pictures of him lying on the floor with her trying to make her smile. He was such a sweet and loving child. I don't remember seeing him after he grew up. I know that you are broken hearted and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
