Dustin Levi Hedenberg, born March 31, 1984, passed away at the age of 41 in St Petersburg, FL, on May 23, 2025. This is the city that he lived in and worked in, at Embree Marine as an MEP Marine Technician.

Dustin was the beloved son of Tamara Houchins-Zelaya, father of Gianna Marie, and grandson of Iris Foust-Thompson. He is so loved by his large family of uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

Dustin had a bigger than life personality and a huge heart filled with love for everyone. He enjoyed fishing, boating, camping, helping others, making everyone laugh, and long conversations.

We all have been forever changed by his life and know that one day we will be reunited with him again.

Memorial Service will be held on June 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (noon) at the Manatee River Garden Club, 3120 First Ave West Bradenton FL 34205
