Standing in the church the words of the poem the dash flooded my mind. I thought about that pome and I hit me hard, In a few words ...Dustan’s life was marked by two dates. His birth then his death and that every so small dash between. And I thought of his dash, the horse back ridding, the dry humor and his wave of the hand when he laughed , the help around my farm in the hot July sun, his non assuming gentle sprit, a man with a vision to better everyone around him, and whom had the belief that good will win the day.
His dash will be remembered in my heart and it was a honor to have know him. Peace Dustan your OV 1 is complete.
My heartfelt condolences to Dustan’s family and friends in this time of grief. I worked with Dustan for a number of years and am still reeling from this loss. He was such a nice, kind person and always ready to help in any way he could. He had the most infectious and ever ready smile. I hope he’s found peace. He will be missed.
Dustan took the time to help those he did not even know.
I brought up an idea. He took the time to actually read and comment on it, even though he worked in a totally different area. He displayed such knowledge, kindness and thoughtfulness. I was so glad when he was promoted because he definitely deserved it!
I am saddened that he has moved on from this world. He will be missed...
Words can't express my shock at learning of your passing Dustan. We worked together on the 911 project on Quantico and shared many stories, challenges and lunches. You will be missed. Your kind heart, soft words and gentle nature are just a few of the remarkable things about you. May your family heal so they can remember the wonderful joy of knowing you without the pain of losing you. Rest in Peace. Heaven definitely gained an Angel.

I am in disbelief of the passing of Dustan. His love for our Lord Jesus Christ was infectious. Dustan and I shared many conversations about how the Lord loves us and how we should have faith in every step of our lives.
I was very fortunate to work with Dustan for many years. There wasn’t a day that went by that he didn’t smile and bring happiness to those he talked to.
I am very fortunate to have called Dustan my friend, my colleague, and my brother in Christ. He will be greatly missed.
When Dustan and I worked together on CERS Program in 2016 he found out that I enjoyed Milky Ways. After that I would come to work and often find a Milky Way bar on my desk. It would make my day. Even we we changed teams and buildings and rarely saw each other, I’d sometimes find Milky Way on my desk and knew exactly who left it. Dustan was one of the most encouraging people I know and I am blessed for knowing him.
I knew Dustan as a helpful and happy man for about 10 years, and he will be missed. Many people and I are sad to hear of his passing. My condolences and prayers go out to Dustan's family and friends.
