When I heard that you had left us
I was simply blown away
How could that be possible? 
We were laughing yesterday.

Your laugh and your humor
Your ‘grin' and devilish smile
No one knew what you'd do next
You had one unique style!

Oh how I'd anticipate you
Clocking “in” on second shift
How I waited for your quips
You had a truly special gift.

Always there for everyone
So dependable, sincere
Kind, gentle and caring
Felt good to have you near.

So, my dear departed friend
I'll think of you each day
Peace and rest and comfort
I hope you've found today.

Your last words to me
Will help my tears to dry

you will always be the light of my life mom

Happy Birthday Dustin, you are missed in our family. You and Dad and Pam are gone now, but the family still holds on to each other. Be at peace, we will all be together again in time. Aunt Pat

Missing you today on your bday, knowing you smile down on our amazing son everyday !! love you always

Where do I begin?  Dusty was the most up beat, selfless, and loyal friend I had growing up.  The houses we grew up in were just a short walk from one another.  I can remember the passion me and Dusty shared for the sport of baseball, him a short stop, me a pitcher on the same team (Cardinals).  I can still see his smiling face and hear his unique laugh as he rounded the bases after another hit.  The many memories I have of Dustin will always be held as a treasure in my heart.  Terri, your son is a beautiful soul and may he rest peacefully in the Lords arms.  And may you find strength and peace from your loss.

God bless you.

Terri my prayers and heart go out to you as well as Bevs!!!! Celebrate his love as I'm sure his soul celebrates his love for you.......

Friends for the longest till taken so suddenly. Thank you for all the memories. Dusty will never be forgotten and always will be missed. I hope u and Willie are kickn just like back in the day. Waiting for my day to be presented to me to see you guys in heaven. Till then I will have all the wonderful memories. Love forever. Jaime.

Dustin you are so loved by your mother''you are her pride and joy may you and all the angels keep a close eye on her and you new baby...

Hey baby, as time is getting closer to our due date, I find myself missing you and wanting you here more and more! I know you are smiling down on us and I can only hope that I can help our son understand what kind of person his father was. I Love You Baby, Miss you like crazy. Love Always... BabyDoll

Dustin, just sitting here at work, and I can hear that laugh of yours. I just thought your son would like to know what a great laugh his dad had. Miss you- Love Aunt Pat

Dusty...you sure are missed by many!  Rip dusty...

My heart goes out to all of the loved ones. God Bless Mommie and Baby.

Dustin will never be forgotten as long as the little one is here to carry his memories on

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.  My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My friend,  I miss you soooo much and you will never truly know how much I loved and appreciated you!!  I'm so sorry!  Shawn and Keara had water balloons last weekend and I found myself so upset because the last time we had a water balloon fight you were there.  I miss you sooo much and find myself thinking of you everyday.  You will never know how sorry I am for everything. I just wish I could've told you.  I love you sooo much and we miss you so much.  Love you Terrie.

For Terrie and Dustin, "You know how truely sorry I am that this has happened, I wish I could change it-you know I would if I could. So in some small way to keep Dustin with us, I made this web site permanent for you. Now you can put down your thoughts for years to come for the book, and pass it down to "Baby D" so he can read things about his Daddy. So, hi "Baby D" this is your Great Aunt Pat.We love you allready and I am so sorry you will never know your Daddy. But you have a big family and we will be there for you- allways.  All my love!!!

TO all members of the Brune family (including close friends): Dustin was a very dear friend of mine and my life has not been the same since his passing. It's summer time now, we always had the most fun this time of year. It is hard not to imagine him being competitive over Fuzz & Mary's ready for a game of Getto Ball!!! These were great times :)
