In the quiet shadows of Burien, Washington, a luminous soul departed this earthly realm on July 21, 2023. Dustin Jon Scott, aged 40, graced this world on April 19, 1983, in the embrace of his mother and father in South Bend, Washington State. A seeker of knowledge and a devotee of wisdom, Dustin’s unquenchable thirst for learning led him to attain his B.A and B.S in Astrobiology · Molecular and Cell Biology · Evolutionary biology from the esteemed halls of The Evergreen State College. With aspirations reaching for the stars, he yearned to pursue the lofty heights of a Master’s and PhD.

In the tapestry of Dustin’s existence, his relationships wove a vibrant pattern of connection. He is survived by his mother, Marilyn. Alongside her, his sisters, Sunshine and Connie, his nieces, Kami and Kait, and his nephew, Ryan. His father, Donald James Scott preceded him in death in 2016.

Gathered in the gentle embrace of mourning, Dustin’s loved ones have chosen to honor his memory in a way that reflects his unique essence. No memorial services shall be held, for his spirit transcends the confines of earthly rituals. Instead, they seek solace in the private sanctuary of remembrance, where memories bloom like delicate flowers, their petals unfurling in the depths of their hearts.

Oh, Dustin, your thirst for knowledge was a beacon that illuminated the darkest corners of ignorance. With every page turned and every lesson learned, you painted the canvas of your mind with the hues of wisdom. Your quest for academic enlightenment shall forever inspire those who had the privilege of witnessing your journey.

As the ethereal winds whisper your name, may your spirit find solace in the realms beyond. May the symphony of your existence resonate, echoing through the corridors of time. And as we bid you farewell, we hold tightly to the memories we shared, cherishing each precious moment. Rest now, dear Dustin, and may your soul find eternal peace in the embrace of the infinite.
