Dustin Wilkes

I was a school counselor at Jonathan Valley Elementary during the time Dustin and his sister were students there. Dustin stood out as a very special individual to me and I remember him well. He was clearly taught respect, kindness, and service to other by his parents and family. If there was a need to clean up the floors after a school celebration or help another student or teacher, Dustin was there. He was present until the task was completed.

I admired both of the Wilkes...

Mary Jane and Martin I am so sorry for your loss I will be praying for you all and your family. Dustin was a great young man and I am sure he will be very missed in this world but he is at peace now with his family that has gone on before him.. We Love You and our prayers and thoughts are with you.. Jane Steele and Family.

Dearest Mary Jane, Martin, Chrystyne, my deepest condolences! Our Loving Thoughts and Healing Prayers go out to all of you. We have so many wonderful memories of Dustin coming over and going to Carowinds. We have photos for you. All of love, Tina Mills and Cody Jones

To all the family, we have always loved Dustin, we are very sorry for you loss.

Martin, Mary Jane and Krystyne we are so broken hearted to hear this...we loved Dustin as our own son... our thoughts, prayers and love to your families. He will be greatly missed.

Mary Jane, Martin & all of Dustins family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I wish I had some words that could comfort you but I don't know anything that I could say that would ease the pain of losing a child. But I know in the days ahead, you will look back on Dustins life and the memories will bring a smile to your face. I pray you feel Gods peace during this time and know that many people are lifting you up to the Lord.

I have to say I never met a more polite responsible intelligent young man. I watch this kid grow up used to come to my house and play with my son. Then when he grew up he came and mowed my yard. Love this family deep in my heart. My heart is breaking for all of you. Heaven got a true angel.

Our hearts are heavy and broken with the loss of Dustin. I cannot imagine what this dear family is going through. Dustin spent many nights at our house playing with our son when they were younger; I can still hear him laughing and see that big smile on his face. What a great life he lived as he grew into a wonderful young man. There are no words to tell his family how sorry we are for their loss. Please know that this young man was loved by so many.
