It's almost been a month since Dustin left, he was such a wonderful classmate. He was always smiling and an overall nice person. To his wife and family I just want you to know that I am still praying for you. May the Lord continue to comfort you even when the world seems to be moving on.

My baby brother- I love you so much and know this life on this side is hard! Your work here on earth is done and I know many seeds were planted by you while here. May your light continue to shine upon others and may greatness come about. My babies will always know you and love you! My Caden always wears his ties because of you and will always know you loved him. I long for the day you meet me at the river and until then May God hold us both in the palm of his hand..

To Dustin's parents. My son Blake looked up to Dustin. In the recent days before his passing he was helping Blake through his struggles with recovery. He told him to read the book "The Quiter". Blake is doing good but he was devasted with Dustin's passing. Dustin told Blake to go to work on his first real job and do his very best, that the one who was there every day doing his very best would be the first one to climb the ladder one rung at a time to the top! I am so sorry for your loss. But I am so thankful for Dustin's influence on Blake. Your son was special. I loved him for what he did for my son. My heart hurts for you, and my prayers are with you

Rest in peace Dustin, you will be missed. Dustin always approached me with a warm smile and always asked me how I was doing. He was going to become a great physician without any shadow of a doubt. May God bless his family and friends.

I'm one of Dustin's LMU-DCOM classmates from 2013. Dustin was an inspiring person. I remember how truly kind he was and I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful person, a wonderful classmate, and a wonderful future physician.
His life touched more people than you will ever know. All of us in the class of 2013 are grieving along with you. May God grant you contentment and peace through this difficult circumstance. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. You are missed, Dustin.

On my first day of med school, I sat next to Dustin. He was so nice and polite that I knew with people like him, school would be bearable! I am more than saddened by his early departure from this earth, but Heaven has certainly welcomed home an amazing person. May the love and light of God surround his family at this time.

Dustin, was a classmate of mine at LMU-DCOM. I got to know him as a member of my EPC group where we learned the essentials of patient care and trained to become physicians. I was just sure Dustin was going to make one of the better physicans from our group based on his compassion and desire to learn. My prayers are with his family and friends.
