His life long Christian faith was strong and his love and pride in his children never wavered.
He was also a doggy dad to Fritz and Dieter, his two mini dachshunds whom he adored.
He was preceded in death by his Maternal Grandparents Louis and JoAnn Hagen, Paternal Grandparents Harley and Inez Duquenne.
He graduated from Canton High School in 1994, but spent most of his elementary and middle school years with his family in Bradenton, FL. He loved swimming in the Gulf, skateboarding and being able to be outdoors year-round.
Dustin retired as a letter carrier from Bloomington Post Office where he was active in the NALC union, having previously been a union steward and then President of Branch 522 as well as the organizer of that branch’s food drive. He was also involved in his local AFL-CIO. He deeply cared about rights of American workers and families.
Dustin had a passion for music and art which included a substantial album and musical instrument collection. He played guitar all his life and participated in the local music scene through several bands. His bandmates were not only friends but were considered family.
Dustin was looking forward to someday being able to spend eternity with his best buddy, Grandma JoAnn.
A funeral service will be held at Oaks-Hines Funeral Home and Crematory in Canton on Wednesday November 4th, 2026, at 1pm with a visitation from 11am to 1pm, with Pastor Stacy Tomich, his aunt, officiating. Burial immediately following at Greenwood Cemetery in Canton.
