You know that this is still as hard as it was the day i found out. You and I have been friends since I was four, you have been in my life ever since I moved here from Alaska. I never thought you would be gone away from me... maybe from some freak accident, yeah, but not like this. Not by choice. I love and miss you so much! Your family is packing up their stuff and moving to Texas, or somewhere... and Austin and Victoria are best friends with Madison... like we were!
Please come back to me... even if it is only in my dreams, I will be fine with that... because I cannot stand to live without you!
I will see you soon my love.
Love forever,
Ashlee Danielle Morris

Dustin,
Thank you for being the ultimate inspiration of love and compassion to one other. If we could all learn to love like you did then this world would truly be a better place.
I love and miss you brother. Rest in paradise and I'll see you soon!

Dustin, I will miss you more than you know. Staying up late with you playing sims will stay in my heart forever. I was at richard and gordons house the other day and i wanted to break down and cry, all the memories we have over there will be in my heart forever. All always remember the night you drove all the way to my house because you wanted to visit me and we whatched t.v all night long, you were my FAVORITE friend of gordons EVER. You always would ditch them to come hangout with me when you would see me sitting there by myself. R.I.P dustin, we all love you

-Alisa

Dustin;

I'll never forget everything you have done in this community. You've given advice, love and care to everyone you have ever known. I didn't make the most of our friendship, and I regret it deeply. I want to thank you very much for looking out for me, for looking out for Gordon too. You'll always be a cousin of mine, Dustin. I'll continue to pursue my dreams and become a doctor, just like you would have if you were still here with us.

Rest in peace. We love you.

DUSTPAN!


So it's been a little over a week now and I finally signed online to check out something of Vicky's...when I stumbled across this. I don't want to tear up again because I know you wouldn't want that, you always wanted people to have the biggest grin on their faces and always look on the bright side of things. It's so cliche to say that you were the sunshine of everyone's day, with your random hello's, random corny jokes, your constant rambles about the things that you cared about most. I am really missing that my friend. I remember people always thought we were related somehow...partly because we have known eachother for so long "MY NAME TINA" haha, and that we have the same last name. Even though we aren't REALLY related...I'll always consider you my long lost brother, cus you have always been there for me through the thick and thin. Thank you for all the carrides home and to Dynamic and taking all the sarcasm I threw at you everyday :). I wish I could have played tennis with you! We were always too busy to play eachother, but I bet you would have creamed me. I remember when we drove to Megan's with Gordon then you were like, "Let's drive pass that creepy house!" and then when all of the girls had our night out and you were so stubborn and insisted on coming. I'm glad you did, because you showed us what the olive oil was for. I just have soooooo many memories and I could really go on forever. I kind of want to, partly afraid that I'll forget them...or you will. But I know that won't happen, because you'll always be in our hearts. Forever times one million and a bajillion and one. Sorry that this is so long...but you know how I can really go on and on...just one last thing.


I always wondered why you considered me your hero. REALLY...I'm the most quirky ridiculous complicated girl in the whole world, I complain so much and don't like cheese. I mean...really!? I think out of any of us, you'd be the hero. You could brighten anyone's day and you were always so sincere when you asked "How are you?". Dustpan...I'm miss you. No one will ever be able to say "Tina Tran You Da Mannnn" like how you did. I know you are happy now and will forever be in peace.

Farewell, brozzza.

Dustin,

I really am going to miss you. I'm going to cherish all our memories together. We had our ups and downs the past few months but its alright.

I'll always remember the time when you drove to my house, and just sat with Gordon, siting there for three hours waiting for me.

AND, the soulja boy dance=)

I'm truly happy that I met you at Christine's party. I'll never forget you.

you're the nicest & sweetest guy i have ever met. i don't know what i will do without you.=[

i miss and love you dustin dontay tran. <3

always & forever.

love, tiffany.

I have been a mother in Hillsboro for 15 yrs. I have a daughter at Hilhi. When I heard the news about Dustin, I broke down and cried. I went to his myspace and saw a bright smiling face of a kid that was ready to take on adulthood and life. As I read more about him, I feel the tears stream down my face for the loss to the world. As a mother of two teens and a 7 yr old, I would like to express the sorrow I feel deep within my soul. My thoughts and prayers go out to Dustin's family for the unbelievable tragedy that has happened. Please know there are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers all around your community that are grieving and crying with you. I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious son.

Dustin,
You will never know the legacy you have left behind. You spent so much time and effort taking care of everyone else, you forgot to take care of you. I am so deeply saddened that you didn't know and feel the love of those around you enough to help you through a difficult time. You will be missed more than you know, but we will never forget. Your footprints will forever remain here at Century. Having you as our Student Aide last semester was a joy and I am so glad I got the chance to know you a little bit. I will always remember your sweet smile and willingness to help wherever and whenever it was needed. I am praying that you have found peace and happiness where ever you may be. My heart and prayers go out to your family during this time of grief. God Bless you and your family.
Rest in Peace Dustin.

Dustin,

Your service to others has been an inspiration. I thank God for the opportunity I had to work with you in Key Club my senior year. You will be greatly missed. Your family, friends, teachers, and classmates are in my prayers.

I never knew Dustin personally, but I always saw how involved he was in the school via leadership, NHS, Key Club, and admired him for what he did. Apparently my impressions were pretty close, because he sounds like a wonderful, selfless, caring person to give so much of his time and talents in betterment of others' lives. You know they say that God is walking through the garden and he picks the most beautiful flower? That flower was Dustin, and though many miss him, I'm sure he's in a beautiful place looking down on us as his caring nature was to do. I'm sure people never know just how many people they affect without meaning to. Just by smiling even, he brightened the days of people who never even met him. You will live on in the hearts of all you touched with your kind smile and helping hand.

hey dustin, had lots of with you and I enjoy the time when you had the party 2 years ago, not too sure. I had lots of fun and I'm glad that I had a friend like you.

Rest in Peace Dustin

Dear Dustin,
I never got a chance to know you too well, but I really enjoyed being your friend. You were the type of guy that is is hard not to like. You always gave people rides, gave people advice, and always tried to make your friends smile. One doesn't need to be close to you, Dutsin, to know that you are an awesome person, who cares more about giving than yourself. I am still in shock of what has happened. I really wish I had gotten to be a closer friend to you. I will miss you, and so will the entire world.

Dear Dustin,

You were so talented and always full of life; honestly, an all-around good person surrounded by a great family. Rest in peace forever.

Your childhood friend,

Ana

Dustin, you were amazing. I've only talked to you one time but I've never forgotten our conversation. I wish you could have seen a brighter side of things. You know we all love you and will miss you to no end. You'll forever be in our hearts!

This is really hard on me.
I had to suffer two deaths last year. Both family.
This is the first time I have to suffer a friend's. I really didn't believe when I first heard. I thought I was getting fooled. But this was no trick. It was real.
I literally stopped for who knows how long just sitting there.
I remember we were partners once playing against Glencoe. It was my first year. I sucked, bad. We were losing but you still had faith that we could win this game. You brought us back from deep. I think we still lost though. Because of me. But you took it as nothing, only that we'll try harder next time. You had such good... everything! Good moods, always smiling, only gets pissed when trying to practice.
I'm not sure if we were going to hang out again but theres always next time.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
Tennis courts won't be the same without you!
NOTHING will be the same.

I'll miss ya man.

God Bless you and your family.

Dustin,
I've known you since as long as I can remember and I don't think there's one time where you're not smiling in my heart. You have got to be one of the most amazing and special I have ever seen or known in my lifetime. You always knew how to brighten someone's day and genuinely cared about everyone else. You didn't care if you looked like a goober you just had fun and I admire and look up to that so much. You were more involved in the school than anyone I've ever met and your fingerprints are all over the place, I wish everyone could be half as involved or have half the heart that you do, because then I know the world would be a better place. Dustin I will never forget you and you continue to be an inspiration to me and one of my hero's as well; you really understand how much the little things mattered.

I love You Dustin Tran

Brandis Piper

Oh man Dustin...I'm really going to miss you and your awesome smile. Thanks for giving me rides to places. Thanks for paying for my dinner that one day. Your a really great guy. Only wish I could pay you back...

Rest In Peace good buddy.
We will always remember you in our hearts.
-Kevin Nakhonexay.

Although your time with us was much too short, we will never forget you and all that you did for our school and community. While we are all struggling to come to terms with what has happened, we cherish the memories that we shared.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family and may they find peace in knowing that Dustin left an unforgettable legacy at our school and to all of those that knew him.

May you rest in peace

Dustin, it is still so unreal to me. We both entered into Stuco. together at the same time, we were both excited yet nervous. I could always count on you to help me out. Even in other classes you were a tremendous help. It makes me feel so sad that I can't return that favor any more.
You are so positive and interested in all our happiness. You put others before yourself. You are extremely unselfish and more people need this quality.
I am going to miss you so much! I am going to miss your smiles and laughs.
I will be thinking of you at our graduation.
-Brittany Carson

Damn.

It is still unreal to me. I saw you last night, and even as I looked at your body, it felt impossible. You were 2 days younger than me.

You can bet I'll be turning 18 twice for you buddy.

I love you so much.

Why did you do it?

Did you not know that?

I'll see you again someday, and when I do, I'm giving you the biggest hug they allow in the afterlife.

You big jerk, I love you forever. I'll never forget you.

Well i didnt know you that well but you were in stars. I thought that you were one of the nicest guys ive ever met. I didnt even know you by name but when they showed your picture,it shocked me as i stared in disbelif. people like you only come once in a great life and we are all sad to see you gone. You will always be in all of are hearts Sincerly yours Aaron Clough
