He graduated from Hanford High School in 1994 and later worked as a grocery clerk at Food King and Save Mart. He was a kind, loving and caring person with a very funny sense of humor. Dustin loved telling exaggerated stories because he believed they sounded better that way. He started collecting sports cards at a very young age. He loved watching football his favorite team was " Chicago Bears". He was a longtime fan of WWE wrestling, like his Grandpa Lemos. He also enjoyed watching movies and listening to music. Dustin had a special fondness for all animals, especially dogs.

He was a wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. He left us so many memories. He will be greatly missed. Our lives are very different now, they will never be the same. It broke our hearts to lose him. We loved him so much.

We would like to thank our family and friends for all their love, support, and generosity during this difficult time.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In Lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to any animal rescue center of your choice.
