Dustin Koszarek

Donation protected
My name is Chris Klingensmith and on behalf of Dustin's father, Dennis Koszarek, we are asking for any kind of help to cover funeral costs for this unexpected tragedy. I personally have known Dustin since he was born and there was even a moment in life where me and my dad lived with Dustin and his father Dennis so this one hits a little different.

On Saturday, August 19th, the world unexpectedly lost one of the nicest, kindest, sweetest human beings. Dustin was involved in a hit and run motorcycle accident that tragically cost him his life. He was only 30 years old and had the rest of his life a head of him. We are asking for any help to cover funeral costs since this was not expected.

Dustin was living with his wonderful girlfriend, Michelle Johnson and her two kids Keith and Matthew. He loved her and her boys very much. They were currently saving up money to get married and have a wedding in their backyard.

For anyone that knew Dustin, he would do anything for anyone at anytime. He would stop what he was doing, or make time, for any friend in need. He was very involved in helping the set up for the Chaffee Gathering, especially the stages. Every year that I could remember, Dustin was out there as much as possible to help as much as he could. He was more than just a helper, he was a long childhood friend to the Chaffee family. Dustin enjoyed riding his motorcycle and was a hell of a pool player. He was always playing tournaments or you could catch him at Andy's Pub playing for fun. Dustin loved his dog Molly and you could always see him walking her around with a big ol smile on his face. Dustin was also a big Green Bay Packer fan. I would like to mention his smile and his laugh, two special traits about Dustin that could light up a room and a campfire! Life is not fair sometimes, but we will not forget the life and memories of Dustin Koszarek. His memory will go on...

I know he had a lot of friends who cared about him and I cannot mention them all here but please keep his father Dennis and his girlfriend Michelle in your thoughts and prayers. Rest easy my friend. We all love you.
