Dustin Davis Obituary
AZTEC
Dustin Dwayne Davis
June 25, 1990 - Feb. 12, 2012
Dustin Dwayne Davis, 21, of Aztec, left this Earth to bring laughter and music to the Heavens on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012. He ran like the wind and now he is the wind.
Dustin attended schools in the Four Corners, participating in many sports, but excelling tremendously in football, and in track and field. While at Aztec High School, he earned numerous medals and trophies for his awesome accomplishments in sports. He graduated from Aztec High School with the Class of 2008.
In 2009, Dustin moved to Tulsa, Okla., where he attended the Spartan School of Aeronautics to earn his Associate Degree in NDT. In 2010, he graduated in the top 2 percent of his class.
Upon moving back to New Mexico, Dustin and his close friends formed a band called Casket of the Pious, in which Dustin played the lead guitar. It was a fantastic talent that he learned from his father at a very young age.
When he did not have a guitar in his hand, Dustin worked at his father's machine shop during the day, and always found time for his friends in between.
Everyone who met Dustin loved him and was embraced by his kind heart and friendly nature.
No matter where he went, he always made a new friend.
As a child, Dustin attended Four Corners Encampment, a summer camp in Colorado, run by the Church of Christ. It is here that dozens of kids and adults come together, not only to worship God, but to have an amazing time and learn great life skills. Kids who attended formed lasting friendships and family bonds. Dustin loved Four Corners Encampment and always counted down the days during summer when he could finally go back to camp.
