It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Dustin "Dusty" Rhodes, known by many as simply Dusty, on December 8th, 2024. Born August 7th, 1996, Dusty's vivacious spirit and boundless joy touched many lives in his brief 28 years on earth.

Dusty is lovingly remembered by his two daughters, Nevaeh and Nahla Rhodes. Despite the complexities of life, he always remained a steadfast and devoted father, cherishing every precious moment he shared with them.

He is survived by his mother, Dianna Parmer, whose strength and resilience were a constant source of inspiration for him. Dusty's loyalty and deep-seated love for his family is perfectly exemplified in his close relationship with his sister, Tara Harris-Retherford. He is also survived by his ex-partner, Mackenzie McGuire, with whom he maintained a respectful and caring bond, for the sake of their children.

Preceding him in death was his father, Mike Rhodes, whose memory Dusty honored every day through his kindness and generosity. The paternal bond they shared in life continues to resonate strongly, even in death.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations for funeral costs. Your thoughtfulness and generosity during this difficult time is greatly appreciated. Funds are being raised at the following URL: https://everloved.com/life-of….
