From 1996 to 1998, the family lived in Jamaica. Their time as missionaries in Montego Bay with Christ for the Nations Bible College was a cultural experience that was significant in Dusty’s life. He had a great zeal for all the people from many nations and a great love for God, expressed through his trombone playing, and vocal solos. He had a beautiful voice. In 1999 Dusty graduated from the Gillette Christian Center School in Gillette. Following his high school graduation, Dusty moved with his parents to Sheridan WY where he attended college for a short time. Later he moved to Billings MT in 2003 where he worked at area nursing homes as a Certified Nursing Assistant. For the past several years, he has lived in Connecticut where he continued working as a CNA. Dustin, “Dusty”, as he was called was a very happy and extremely jovial man, everyone who know him loved his cheerfulness. He could make anyone laugh. Dusty had compassion for others and deeply cared about his co-workers and friends. He will be greatly missed by those in Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana and Connecticut. Dusty will be remembered for being a happy and upbeat person. Ever since he was a baby, Dusty was happy and smiley.
