Dustin currently worked with his brother, Eric at ESP Contracting Co. "Little D" as he was affectionately known to family and friends enjoyed surfing, skateboarding, fishing, boating and the beach. Dustin was an amazing individual. His zest for life is to be admired by all. Many will never feel the happiness that Dustin portrayed on a daily basis. He accepted everyone despite their flaws or imperfections. He believed that everyone deserved a "Hello" or "How was your day?" Kindness, the definition, was practiced frequently by Dustin. How to be happy and live life to the fullest was the essence of Dustin Poole. Having a good time and enjoying, as well as appreciating, the people around him was a necessity, always! "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Poole of Bull Head City, AZ and his brothers and sisters: Don Poole, Cheryl Hardy, Brian Poole, Aliese Phillips, Eric Poole, Janine Bain, Matt Poole, Candace Padgett, Martisha Cody, Adonna Phillips, Angela Phillips and numerous cousins.

I didn't know you before. I can't get to know you now, but in the few minutes you held my hand I loved you...and I still do. You are with me always.

I am shocked and saddened, I just learned of Dustin's death. I am grateful for the time we spent together from the time we met while we were working at Market Pavilion to being neighbors on Folly Beach. I will remember the good times we had. For the family, Brinn, and other loved ones; my thoughts are with you, what a tragedy.

The reality of the fact you will not be there to smile at me & Jody when we come home for Christmas just hit us. We were sitting at home last night making lists of the people we want to see and things we have to do when we go home. It wasn't until after I wrote your name that it hit me and the grief caming rushing back. Jody even wrote on his list to go surfing with you. It's odd huh? I still miss you more & more but I know that you are right there looking over me and all you family & friends...

Hey Deeder,
I miss hearing you laugh when I called you that. Today is Thanksgiving and it has almost been two months since you've been gone. Even though it is hard to find something to be thankful for today, I am thankful that I met you. Having you in my life is the best thing that has ever happened to me and today I will thank God for sending you to me. Although our time together was short and sweet I will cherish our memories forever. I will always fold my socks and make chocolate...

My best bud and I.
I read this guest book everytime I get an email that someone has signed it. I knew the day would come when the emails didn't come in as much. I am so thankful for the abundant love my family and I have received from our friends and Dustin's friends...from James Island, to Folly, all the way to Las Vegas friends have shown us how important my cousin was to them. Thank you so much! Thank you for reminding me daily that he was a major part of your life. Thank you for showing me the amount of...
