Dustin was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Charles Wagner and paternal grandparents, Michael and Mary Yaciw. One of Dustin's favorite things was traveling and he did not like to stay in one place for long. He enjoyed the outdoors including kayaking, biking, axe throwing, hiking, camping, and the beach. He liked watching sports both on TV and going to events including South Bend Cubs, Notre Dame football, Indianapolis Colts, and Indiana Pacers games. He also enjoyed cooking and baking, which he often did for family and friends. His favorite band was Clutch and he would travel all over to see their shows. While he liked to do his own thing, making memories with friends and family was important to him. He loved his nephews and niece more than anything. He would choose spending time with them over anyone or anything.
