To the Baca family, my condolences go out to you and all of your family. Dustin was a classmate of mine. He was the guy that was always laughing and you would rarely see without a smile on his face. I was sad to hear the news of his passing, but will always remember the guy that brought laughter and joy to everyone around him.

To all Dustin's family and friends we are so saddened by this tremendous loss. I was blessed with the opportunity of meeting Dustin several years ago at my nephew Vincent Dorazio's wedding as dustin stood in honor of him. I know Vincent had a very close and special friendship with Dustin over many years and will miss him so much. We will continue to pray for each of you and know that Dustin has touched so many during his life here on earth. May god always look after his wife and children and keep them safe as he watches over them.

To the Baca family.
From the Splicers in Qwest out of Las Cruces we send our heartfelt prayers for peace in this sad time. You are not alone in your mourning for the loss of such a good man, but remember always:
But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.
God bless,
Leo Perez
