Dustin was one of a kind. He had such a positive attitude and outlook. All the students at East knew and loved Dustin. He always had a smile on his face and kind word to all. He was a ray of sunshine and I will miss him dearly.

I worked with Dustin at East High School. When I first started working at East, Dustin would try to physically hide from me. He would do so by using his friends as “roadblocks” or “distractions” to hide where he was located on the resource level. He was always fun to work with and me me smile each day I was with him. He was the very first student that taught me what it was like to be appreciated as a teacher. He told me “I really appreciate what you did during speech”. I have never forgotten that and never forgotten him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at such a difficult time.

I remember the first day I met Dustin at Rockcreek he was a sweet sweet little pistol. I loved seeing him everyday in the hallways and he always had a smile on his face. I am sure he will keep them hopping up in Heaven and there will never be a dull moment.. ❤️
