Dustin was a proud graduate of the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford. He was deaf since birth but Dustin did not let that hold him back. He was a great communicator with his family and friends using sign language. Dustin overcame many obstacles and achieved many accomplishments over his lifetime. The love and dedication of his parents and family encouraged and nurtured his abilities and emboldened him to become the wonderful young man he was. By example, Dustin taught gratitude and unconditional love. His legacy of love, thankfulness and selflessness will always be a treasure to those who were blessed to know him.
He was an extremely dedicated Boston Red Sox fan. He proudly displayed all his memorabilia all over his room, banners and hats, T-shirts, anything he could find. Dustin was also a Wrestling fan, Hulk Hogan and John Sena were his favorites. Fishing with Uncle John and Uncle Sam brought Dustin so much joy. More than anything, Dustin loved his Mom and Dad. He will be so terribly missed.
