Dustin Lee Pardue Obituary
Dustin was born May 1, 1995 in NAS Lemoore, CA. From the beginning his smile brightened all around him. Dustin was full of personality and loved to live life to the fullest. Dustin was known to many as Twitch, Shaggy or Batman. But to all he was a son, uncle, grandson, brother or bestie.
Every day was adventure time for him whether this was walking across town with a friend that just needed to talk, searching the entire town for a golden egg in the Squad Easter Egg hunt, going across state to visit a buddy that was depressed or going across country with his friends in order to try out something new (like Florida or California) because he just wanted to. Dustin was very random and at any time would be talking and just stop and holler "Squirrel". Dustin loved his animals, family and friends although his friends were his family. To Dustin family was a term he used for those related by blood or choice. He was the life of the party wherever he went and made sure to leave his mark on all. He absolutely loved kids. All his "nieces and nephews" knew Uncle Twitch was going to do something to make their day great, even if it meant chasing them in a dinosaur costume. Dustin was usually the first person to help someone out that needed it whether it was sitting beside them in the hospital or hanging out on their couch while they cried or shaving his head because family was going through cancer and he was supporting them in his way. He made sure he checked on his people often and if they weren't smiling and laughing when he got there, they would soon be. He loved music and had it playing constantly. You could usually tell what was going through his head by what he was listening to. He would tell you white boy couldn't dance then did his little dance anyway.
Dustin worked for Choices of St Joseph and was great at assisting individuals in their daily lives but absolutely was horrible at notes. Dustin followed in his maternal grandfather's shoes and was an avid biker. He loved his motorcycles as much as he loved people. He was always excited riding them or working on them. He even rode in costumes to make the children happy and laugh.
Dustin was a gamer, playing for hours with his friends, never getting bored of being with them in one way or another. Dustin graduated from Central High School.
Dustin was preceded in death by his son Kieran Pardue, his beloved cat Bubbas, his puppers Chiko and his maternal grandparents Michael Jones and Lee Ann Ritzinger.
Dustin is survived by his mom Rachel Jones Williams aka Momma Flip Flop, father Shannan Pardue, Larry Burley, Laurie Pardue, Paternal Grandparents Kathy Roberts and Mike (Paulette) Pardue, siblings Adam Brown, Tristin O'Connor, Dakota Beard, CJ Beard, Tessa Burley, Angel Burley, Destiny Orndoff, Chris "Birdie" Burley, Skylar Berry, Shelby Mullen and many, many, many more.
