I’m so saddened by the passing of my Birney Boy Dustin….he was given a very challenging life but made the best of it. He was always at my home in Birney when he was young , riding horses, eating, cruising to the Buffalo Jump or just hanging out with Tom, myself and my boys. Dustin will be missed by all who knew him, his helpful and respectful nature that was rooted deep from his traditional upbringing. I’m so glad that I was able to help him in his recovery and pursuing the love of his life. He was blessed with a beautiful daughter and a loving mate that I know helped ease his pain…. in which he gained a family. RIP my boy until I see you again~~will the circle be unbroken~~
