Dustin Cole King, of Andover, Minnesota, tragically passed away in a car accident on his way to work on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at the age of 43. Service arrangements are pending.
Dustin was born on December 16, 1981, in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. He attended school in St. Francis, where he built an early foundation of teamwork and discipline through wrestling and baseball. This commitment would carry over into his professional life as the owner of his own construction company. He was known for his relentless work ethic and dedication to excellence, always working hard to build every project to perfection.
Dustin embraced life with a zest for speed and flavor. He loved the freedom of the open road, often found riding his motorcycle with family and friends, making memories that spanned state lines. In recent years, he discovered a newfound passion for cooking, enthusiastically learning new techniques and experimenting with different spices to perfect a dish.
