Dustin Lee Dittmer, 34, Colfax IA, was born November 22, 1987, and left us on May 7, 2022. Dustin was the son of Kathy and Lee Cochran of Mitchellville and Gregory and Michelle Dittmer of Indianola. He was survived by the love of his life, Kaylee Riddle and their unborn daughter, Reighlynn. He was also survived by his siblings, Joseph Dittmer of Grinnell, Cody and wife Kellie Dittmer of Mitchellville, Jesse Dittmer of Knoxville; Shannon Morey of Phoenix, AZ; Christopher, Zachary (Alayna) and Heather Lemon of Indianola; maternal grandparents, Robin (Danny) Mackle of Arizona and Gary May of Indianola; and paternal grandmother, Mary Dittmer of Indianola. In addition, he was survived by his nephew, Joseph; nieces, Willow and Anayah; his late wife's children, Stephanie Lussier, Jennifer Allan, Kelsey Miller; and grandchildren of Onawa; many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends he loved as his own family members, and his dogs.
Dustin was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Joseph Dittmer; maternal aunt, Traci May; maternal cousin, Ashley Hoch; and his late wife, Shelley Signs-Dittmer.
Dustin was an avid outdoors-man that never missed a moment of any season to hunt deer or turkey, fish, kayak, and mushroom hunt. He would often spend hours visiting with others that shared his passion of being one with the great outdoors. He was at peace in the woods and on the water, he was always encouraging others, especially his nephew Joseph, to see the beauty of nature. His passion for the outdoors always came second to his honor, commitment and love he had for his family. He worked at Dee Zee Manufacturing from 2018 to his death.
Dustin's family and friends will gather on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at the Assembly of God Church, 1700 W. 2 Ave., Indianola. Visitation will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. and services will be held 11 a.m. on Saturday, following visitation to celebrate his life.
Donations can be sent to Dustin and Kaylee's daughter at https://gofund.me/b61181c9 or to the Overton Funeral Home in Indianola, IA.
