Dustin was born November 29, 1973 in Sturgis, MI. to Rick and Patricia (Roberts) Himes. On June 30, 2017, he married Nancy Binkley and she survives. Dustin led a varied career all centered around his skills in maintenance and mechanical talents until his health no longer permitted him to do so. He thoroughly enjoyed his many tinkering projects from piece-by-piece breakdown to reassembly and finish. Dustin had a passion for making people happy and celebrating Halloween, it was his favorite time of year. Together Dustin and Nancy would host the annual “Hardcore Halloween Bash” where countless good times were had and so many memories were made. This year’s “Hardcore Halloween Bash” will be held in memory of Dustin. Whether it was social gatherings or simply sharing a good “dad joke” from the Dad Code Group he was a member of, Dustin could always be counted on for a smile. His love for his family and friends was second to none and he will be dearly missed by all.
