Dustin Dix Southam

St. George

Dustin D. Southam, 43, passed away on March 5, 2014. He was born on June 4, 1970 in Salt Lake City to Glade and Marilyn Southam.

Dustin was raised in Draper, Utah where he attended Alta High School. He graduated from the Weber State College of Engineering where he excelled in his career as a Molding Engineer. Dustin loved wood working, geocaching, biking, hiking, the Running Utes, movies, and animals (especially his cat, Winney.) He had an infectious laugh and a great sense of humor, which we will miss dearly. Dustin lived in St. George at the time of his death, but he preferred the cool weather of Salt Lake City.

Dustin also leaves behind many dear friends and family, including the mother of his beautiful children, Marcella Abarca Southam.

I just barely learned that Dustin had passed away, I was a coworker of his in pocatello and I still remember working nights with him when he used to put me in charge while he locked himself in his office trying to do some of his college homework. I also Remember building a potato gun with him that actually worked awesome. Also the pranks we used to pull on people at work were so fun ,he definitely will be missed RIP Dustin. Abel.A

Interminged in the Grove

Dear Southam Family - I am very sorry for you loss, he was always good to work with and be around.

They were young and old intermingled in the grove
Some bent by the weight of elements
Others show markings of the misdeeds of life
Strange how a group of trees could look so nice

There was a calm in the woods, a hush to be found
Leaves fluttered all the way to the ground

Standing among the trees you saw
Some had fallen and silently lay
While new shoots and twigs appeared close by
Following the footsteps of the trees leaving before

We all leave in time, some young and some old
A family like these trees has a story to be told

The Aspen have lived in nature this way
Each family bonded through roots they share
Their colors of fall show where they stand
Signaling out where the roots carry on

Dustin was our neighbor in Salt Lake City. I remember standing outside talking on summer days. He also was a very positive influence for my children, who grew up with Zach and Natalia. I remember him taking all the kids to a company outing at Boondocks, and was so impressed with his generosity, Aimee remembers a conversation on Natalia's graduation day. A bit of advice for the ACT's that she said she used successfully. Although these are not big things, these are some of the things that I will remember.
Marcella, you're right. He gave you the greatest gift, your wonderful kids. My heart goes out to you, as you move through this painful experience. My heart and prayers to you all. May God comfort you and bring you peace. Love, Saran,Aimee and Kammeron

Brenda & Family,

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Dustin. I remember him as a little boy running around on Cora Way. I remember when you got horses, he was excited to take me and Tammy out to the stable and see them. We think of your family often as we look across the street at your old house.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you at this time and always.
