So sorry to hear of this loss. Dusty was such a great soul, always willing to give someone a hand or meet someone new. He showed me how to do leather work. I loved playing golf with him. He was one of a kind! My thoughts are with his family
Rene, uncle Mike, aunt Cheryl and family… my deepest sympathy, and prayers… Dusty was an amazing guy… so blessed I got to meet him and know him.
Love to you all from CO.
So sorry to hear of this loss, Dusty was always willing to help anybody he could. Our thoughts are with your family. He will be greatly missed.
We are so sorry to hear Dusty has passed. I had met him once but was immediately welcomed into the family as Dusty and Rene loved Karen and in return were so welcoming to me.. I immediately realized he was a larger than life personality. He was extremely personable and quite an interesting guy. I was lucky enough to get a private tour of his shop and I still remember to this day. What a skilled craftsman. I wish I could have gotten to know him better. I could tell he was one of those types of men the world could use more of. RIP Dusty and deepest condolences to your family. You will be missed.
Dear Dusty, your will always be remembered as My friend, my golf coach, my favorite person… What can I say about Dusty that will convey how we all felt about him… Always a kind word, always ready to offer you a Coors Light, one to share a laugh with, one to share our love of music with, and so much more. What I loved most about Dusty was his way of teaching you what was important in life with out preaching. He led by example, HE WALKED THE WALK. Dusty and Rene have always had to me what a great marriage should be. If everyone treated each other they way Dusty and Rene did towards each other the world would be a much better place. True Love is forever. Thank you for being a part of my life, Love Karen
Even though I only met Dusty once, he stood out to me as a larger than life personality, I was so impressed by his fantastic craftsmanship and skill when I received a private tour of his shop. His pride in his family and his genuine happiness with what he had accomplished will always stick with me. We should all be so lucky to find true love as he and Irene did. You left a mark and positive influence on everyone’s life you touched. YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!
