Where do I begin? 

I met Dustin (I know him as Milky) off MySpace, decades ago. Embarrassing, I know. But he was a cool person and I will never forget how sweet and kindhearted he was. He was the guy you wanted to know, always hanging out with the cool group, and so awesome that you felt special to be in his presence and walk into a party alongside. He, as many said before, lit up any room he walked into. Anytime we went anywhere together, everyone knew him, already loved him, and wanted to steal him away for conversation, because they knew Milky was the funniest, wittiest guy you’d ever meet. He was straight forward and never bullshitted. He was the person you’d go to when you’re having a problem. He was the dependable friend to hear you out. He was the guy who would make you laugh when life sucks. He was everything and more and I wish this world could’ve had more of him. Seeing today, how many people he touched and loved him, well, it’s not shocking. He truly IS that special. But I only wonder how many more he could’ve touched if he weren’t taken so early. I’m glad, Dustin, that I got to know you, even if it was for a short amount of time. But I want you to know you made such a huge impact on my life and others obviously, and I’m so glad to have been blessed enough to call you a friend in our lifetime. You’re so amazing and so beautiful. I hope you’re up there now listening to social distortion, and one day realize that I’m right and they suck haha just kidding. I love you. I’ll miss you always and forever. 

When I used to introduce myself as Dustin’s brother, I would start by immediately apologizing for him. I would act annoyed when people would recognize me as his brother, and say it didn't know him. But I really can’t even begin to explain how much Dustin meant to me, he’s my little brother and I feel we were always close as siblings, but losing our dad brought us even closer because we shared that same pain. I was always protective of him when we were kids and I only tried to offer advice when I felt he needed it. I worried about my brother the same way that you would worry for anyone you care about, you don’t want see anything bad to happen to them. I feel like Dustin still had plenty of time left, I was really counting on him to be the one to take away my moms car keys when she gets to old to drive! I keep trying understand this but none of it really makes sense to me yet. I know that things aren’t going to be the same without him, but that we’re gonna be ok. Thank you to everyone for all of the love and support we’ve received over the last couple weeks, it means everything to us to see how much he was loved. Thank you❤️

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of Dustin. There are no words that can take away the sorrow at this time. Eventually though, thinking of him will bring a smile before the tears.  It looks like Dustin was a character, like my son Kurt; with Dustin wearing a Kurt Shirt in a wedding   : )

I am humbled and honored that Dustin’s momma and family chose to raise funds for The Kurt Caselli Foundation !  Thank you.  Thinking the guys are riding together right now 🏁  

I will contact Angie personally; we are kindred spirits.
