Seems a long time ago now coming home on the boat after another adventure on the island and got the phone call you'd had an accident. I figured we'd have to figure out how to get you tour guiding with a broken arm, or leg or something dumb.

Can still feel the feeling in my stomach when the voice on the other end of the phone said you'd gone.

Miss you man, we had a short but sweet time together. Bonding over island injuries, heads and shoulders, watching the Inbetweeners, talking about plans. Funny that I'm in your city now. 

Rest easy.

Happy 29th birthday my dear Dustin. I love you and miss you so very much. Had one of your favourite spagetti dinners tonight with your bros Trev and Wade. We chatted about you, great memories ❤️ A big hug and

Happy birthday Dustin.
Where ever you are, I hope you are having the very best birthday❤

I was telling someone about you at work i was wearing my bracelet and they asked me about it and sometimes I wonder what do you say? There are no words to use to describe the light you brought to everyone and the incredible soul he has and the spirit that makes me smile i miss that smile :(

I read this and it reminded me of our Dustin......Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Dustin's laughter was infectious and he shared it with everyone he met.

Dustin Steel 1988-2012

I left in love and laughter
and wherever love and laughter abide
I am there in spirit

RIP

Missing you and thinking about out last convo today, we always talked about accounting and i know you wanted to teach...Dustin Steel, "Well when i get home you are going to help me do my taxes ! (I don't really need help but maybe i just wana spend some time with ma melly!) I haven't renewed anything and i plan on coming home before it expires ! Hope all is well much love"

Its so hard to come here cause I still don't believe it. My heart is with you. I never stop thinking of you, you push my through the days and keep me smiling. I love you IMMENSELY. <3

Thinking about you everyday Dust, and missing you more and more. Anytime something scares me I think "What Would Dustin Do" and instantly I have the courage and strength to take on any task. We all miss you so much Dust, keep watching over us. Thank you for being so incredible and so inspirational.

Ah, Dusty, 3 months on and we all still miss you just as much. Your smile's still missed from the world, yet still carried in our hearts and memories. You'll be proud to see I made it home, and trust me, your words of advice were replayed a thousand times to get me here and keeping me smiling (even if not as beautifully - or goofily - as you!)! Keep shining up there, Dustin! Miss you x x x

Thinking about you all the time Dustin. I'm sure your having parties up there with that big smile on your face. Parties aren't the same with out you but always know that your looking down on us smiling and helping us win in beer pong :)
Always going to miss you buddy xo.

RIP buddy.... forever your friend.... ben x

I miss you every day. You are the voice in the back of my head saying give it your all and be happy. You were always there 110% and would always remind me of that. Such an amazing friend, I am so lucky to have known you and been able to get close in the last year. <3 every time I see the stars they remind me of you. Forever missed and never forgotten. You made me a better person<3

You are a constant in everything that I do. I just want to talk to you, I see you in my dreams, and let me tell you there are so amazing and real. The only way I can really talk to you. The memories. So blessed. Youre so amazing love, I still hear the sound of your voice in my head guiding me through every day. Not a day goes by. I love you. Forever, For always.

Didn't know Dustin..but saw the pictures of him and my daughter in Thailand..Good friends..made quite an impact on Chelsea..My thoughts are with you

some times you drove me absolutely crazy and i still fell more in love with you every day that passed. Our love will forever live on and so will the love of your amazing friends and family. This is not goodbye baby it will never be, for me its one day closer to seeing you again. Forever for always. Together forever never apart maybe in distance but never in heart. I love you

You have taught me so much from manners to vocabulary how to forgive and forget how to smile and love and most importantly how to appreciate life and all it has to offer. You my love have changed my life for ever and made me feel a love i know i will never feel with anyone else but am so beyond grateful words cannot describe. You're amazing and I've known that since day one.

You have been the most amazing and inspirational person I've ever been blessed with in my entire life. When i first met you i was on the wrong path and so unsure of where i was going. As days passed and we became inseparable i began to see the light and feel a love i waited for my entire life. Dusty my love, Im so honored to have spent all the time i got to with you over the last two years . You h

The hole in my life that you have left will never be filled. You're one of a kind and the pain still runs deep. Not a day goes by where the wind blows, the sun shines or the rain falls and I don't feel like I'm graced with your presence again. We miss you and love you. Forever and always. Xo.

I Think about you every day bud, parties just aren't the same without you but I know your having your own party up there! Showin them how it's done! Only the good die young. Miss you dusty xo

I miss you Dustin, and when I think of you now I smile and I'm happy - you were one crazy kid :) You've left a big hole in my world !
