It is with a broken heart that I share the sudden passing of my love and best friend, Dustin Holmes-Arbuckle. Dustin has been the love of my life since we were 14, and his loss is deeply felt by everyone who knew him. He was a devoted son to Rebecca and Rick Rogers, a caring little brother to Dylan and Danielle Arbuckle, and a proud uncle to his nephews, Austin and Asher Arbuckle. His warmth, kindness, and laughter touched so many lives, and his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.

Dustin wished to be cremated and taken back to New Mexico, the place he called home, so he can be laid to rest surrounded by family and memories. After living in Oregon for 12 years, bringing Dustin, myself, and his belongings back to his family is a journey filled with both emotional and financial challenges. The costs of cremation, travel, and funeral arrangements have added to the weight of this tragedy, and I am reaching out for help to honor Dustin’s final wishes.

Any support you can offer, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, means the world to us. Every little bit helps us bring Dustin home and celebrate his life in the way he deserves. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for keeping Dustin’s memory alive in your hearts.
