Arthur Claud Ketterman

Dusty is survived by his wife Melva (Crawford) of 67 years, son Steve (Sheila) Ketterman, daughters Janet (Larry) Sherwood and Cindy (Herb) Mueller, sister Opal Brinkley, four loving grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Ray and Kenneth Ketterman.

Dusty served his country as a US Marine artillery instructor during the Korean War. He then started his family with Melva in Pueblo, Colorado, raising three children and working as a pipefitter at CF&I for 33 years. He devoted his life to his faith and his family. He was very involved in his church and ran the YMCA church softball league for many years. He spent most of his spare time with his family enjoying the outdoors—fishing, camping, and hunting. He excelled at gardening and woodworking, sharing his gift with family and friends. Dusty moved to Salida, Colorado in his later years and enjoyed being near his daughter and his beautiful mountains. Dusty touched many lives and was admired for his kindness and patience to all. Dusty was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. He will be forever in our hearts.
