Dustin McEntire Obituary
He was born Oct. 12, 1982, in North Platte to Ricky and Debra Campbell McEntire. Dustin attended North Platte High School.
He worked at Valentino's and other various jobs. On July 16, 2007, he was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed. He overcame many obstacles after the accident, rehabilitating with the help of Quality Living Inc. to the point of being independent and being able to return home to North Platte. He was an inspiration to many people who watched him come back from his injuries.
He loved online gaming, music and eating tacos. Everyone will remember his goofy smile.

I pray that Dustins name was found written in the lambs book of life as he went before the throne and heard Jesus say well done thou good and faithful servant, and my prayers go out to all of you in hopes that Jesus will comfort you in your time of grief and take your hand as you move forward into each new day that he has made so that you will again rejoice and be glad in it

Dustin was truly one of the kindest and sweetest young men that I have had the honor to meet and to care for. He was warm and funny. Dustin had a dazzling smile and a mischevious twinkle in his eye. We will all miss him. He was always so good to everyone he met.

Dustin, I Miss You like crazy buddy! I just keep waiting for you to call me and it's the hardest thing to deal with.. We talked every day since we met about 6 months ago and hung out about 3 or 4 times a week, we became best friends! He was always fun to be around, and made everybody laugh. He was the sweetest guy I knew! You'll always be remembered Dustin! I love and miss you!
