Dustin, you were my son in the largest sense as you always were there, with that smile and that loving heart.

You were a sweet and loving person whose smile would make even the grumpiest individual smile back, who took the time to help anyone that needed a hand, who loved and expected nothing in return for that love.

You loved spending time with your friends, music, and your two dogs. You were smart, selfless and you are missed every single day by so many in so many different ways.

Dustin, that space in which you reside in my heart will always remain and give me help when I need it. I love you and will miss you always,

Daddy

The friends you picked loved you, and Kristen prepared this poem.

The meaning of true friendship
Is simple to explain
It's when a friend is with you
In laughter, love and pain
Always there to lend a hand
No matter what you do
But most of all always there
To love and comfort you
We shared in many laughters
We cried so many tears
It felt like I had known you
Throughout your living years
Yet our time we had together
Was cut short for reasons why
As no-one can explain just how
You left and made me cry
It's reasons only God can give
Can put my mind at rest
For then I'll maybe realize
It's true he takes the best
You'll always be a part of me
Within my heart you'll stay
It's you I'm always thinking of
Each night and every day
I wish I only had the chance
To see you just once more
To tell you friend I love you
Like I should have done before
So with deep regret and sorrow
And all my love to you I send
For heaven's such a nicer place
The day God took my friend....
