At a young age, Dustin’s passion for music led him to find serenity in learning to play guitar. Sitting for countless hours with his father mastering the chords and riffs that turned into true talent. He began riding motocross from the time he could walk and was fearless on the track. He and his friends, known as the “Wolf Pack”, were an inseparable group of rambunctious boys, full of excitement and wonder. Dustin truly reached his pinnacle when he became a father to his own rambunctious boy. His son, Carson, was his world just as he was his parent’s world. Dustin was a loving father, son, brother, nephew and friend, who will truly be missed by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Dayton Clark and Ellis “David” Hay.
Surviving to cherish his memory are his adoring son, Carson Graves; his loving parents, Shawn and Michelle, nee Clark, Graves; his sister, Shayla Smith; his maternal grandmother, Sue Clark; his paternal grandmother, Candi Johnson; his grandfathers, Michael Carmack and Michael Johnson; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.
