Dustin had just turned 40 and had so much of his life left to live. He is very loved by his family and friends for the special person that he was. Dustin was a very creative soul who had ambitions to help others when they were in need.
He had dreams to open a homeless shelter one day because he truly wanted to help people in dire circumstances. He was an amazingly beautiful singer who sang every chance he had with his inspiring voice. He excelled in school and was a member of Soundsational Singers, which was his passion. He graduated in 1997 from
Nevada High School and moved to Joplin, MO to attend Missouri Southern State University. In his teenage years he was a waiter at El Sambres in Nevada, MO. He later moved to Springfield, MO and established it as his home. He was a hard worker and loved the outdoors and animals.
In lieu of flowers the family suggest contributions to the Nevada High School Soundsational Singers, in memory of Dustin. A celebration of life is to be announced at a later date. His care is entrusted to Walnut Lawn Funeral Home, Ltd. DeGraffenreid-Wood-Crematory.
