Not sure what to say?

The anniversary of Dustin's passing came up on my phone this morning. Dustin was a very loyal friend. Dustin and I became friends in elementary school and he was one of my best friends growing up in Nappanee. He is sorely missed. He truly was one-of-a-kind in so many different ways. We certainly had many fun times together. Dustin was a brilliant and talented man. More importantly though, he was a loyal friend.

At a loss for words.. My condolences..

My sympathies to Dustin’s family and friends. When he joined his father at Travel Lite, he brought a new dynamic perspective that took the business to the next level. You are in my prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

So many great memories with Dustin- I always lovingly called him "Wildman" because everything was positive high energy every time we were together. He was always available to me or anyone who needed help with anything. Always positive, always saw the good in people and talked them up and made them believe in themselves. We would talk for hours in his office or after work it was such an exciting time for me getting to spend time with someone who genuinely wanted me to win in life. I didn't...

Dustin was one of my best friends throughout my childhood and high school years. He was a very good friend to me. I saw him two years ago and we sat out on his pier and talked for about four hours - just like old times. He will surely be missed. My condolences to his family and friends. It really makes me sad to hear this news.

I am so sorry to hear of Dustin's passing. I remember him with a smile when he would come to pick up the kids. My prayers are with the entire family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
