From Idaho to Washington, Oregon, California, and finally settling in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dustin brought his infectious laughter, clever wit, and handyman skills everywhere he went. He recently joined the TSA as a Transportation Security Officer, turning his hand to ensuring the safety of thousands of travelers daily. His crowning glory, though, was his coaching skills on the soccer field for his sons young teams. Dustin's love for his sons Tristan, Tyler and Troy, his family, dogs, and skateboarding was unparalleled. His wife, Stephanie Franks, was his partner in crime, his rock, and his biggest fan. His family's support fueled his ambitions, and his love for them was evident in every aspect of his life. He was a man who lived by the verse Proverbs 22:6, "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." His faith may have been quiet, but it was profound, guiding him through life's ups and downs.
