On Oct. 8, 2010, Dustin married the love of his life, Shawna Goldwater, in Paw Paw. Together, these two created a life full of laughter and love for their seven children. For nearly 10 years he worked at Molded Acoustical Products of Easton, Inc., as a maintenance mechanic. Dustin was commonly referred to as a “Jack-of-all-trades,” he was able to fix anything, build beautiful household décor and create unique metal items with his welding skills. With his passion and creativity for working with his hands, Dustin and Shawna started a business called Double D’s Kozy Koops, where he would build customized chicken coops. When he wasn’t tinkering around and building things he loved to watch and cheer on Notre Dame Football. However, what meant the most to Dustin was his family.
