IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Dustyn Blake
Hunt
September 24, 1980 – October 30, 2021
Dustyn Blake Hunt passed unexpectedly, after several battles with pneumonia, at the age of 41 on October 30, 2021, in Lake Jackson, Texas. He was born on September 24, 1980, in Galveston, Texas. As a child, Dustyn was an adventurous and free-spirited boy. He grew up loving music, fast cars, and family gatherings.
Dustyn had an amazing joy for life and his smile could light up an entire room. His laughter was infectious, and he would often have everyone in stitches crying with his silly antics. He loved to have a good time, whether he was dancing to music (full of bass of course), playfully teasing someone, or riding his bike all over the neighborhood striking up conversation with anyone he ran into. Dustyn's regular karaoke concerts at home were often enthusiastic and received mixed reviews from his siblings. He was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at age 4, and though he had many obstacles over the years, he overcame every single one like a champ.
Dustyn attended Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, Texas, and graduated in 2002. There, he was beloved by students and staff alike. He took several vocational opportunities, enjoyed their class field trips to Sea World and the zoo, and was also nominated for the Torchbearer Award by his peers. This award was given each year to an inspiring student that graduated despite adversities. After high school, he attended a wonderful program at North Central Texas College in Corinth for special needs adults. He got to experience going to two proms, where he absolutely was the life of the party. Dustyn also enjoyed going to Spirit Horse, a therapeutic horse-riding program in Corinth, where he became fond of one horse in particular named Lollipop.
Though Dustyn was never married, he liked flirting, and would claim he had many "girlfriends" over the years. Dustyn made friends everywhere he went and seemed to never meet a stranger. He always looked forward to going on vacations with his family, especially if it was at the beach.
Dustyn loved his family fiercely and unconditionally. He is survived by his mother, Leah Kain, stepfather Tommy Kain, grandfather Ronnie Michalec, step-grandmother Carolyn Kain, sister Kaylie Deem and her husband Brandon, brothers Nicholas Barnett and Ethan Barnett, stepbrother Tommy Kain III, nephews Everett and Nolan, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his great grandmother Wanda Leach, great grandmother Liberta Michalec, grandmother Pat Koci, step-grandmother Judy Michalec, step-grandfather Thomas Kain, aunt Sissy, and uncle Ray Palmer and a very special caregiver, Miss Barbara.
