    You son was an amazing guy. I was blessed to meet him and even help him with his AR15 build. I was also bless to meet your grandson. Truly a good young gentlman. I helped him with an electrical part he needed just after Christmas.

    I am not that far from where your son and his family live. Please feel free to reach out to me if Owen needs any help with his projects. Or if there is anything else i can do for your family, be bless, you are all in my prayers.

    Please hang around the forum. You are always welcome. This is truly a great community. Your son was every loved and respected here, and you will be to.

    BigsDaddy..... I was blessed to spend a day with your son and grandson at one of our shooting events. I'm so sorry that your family has suffered this great loss.

    Dustin had a wonderful smile, and a warm handshake. As others have noted, his commitment as a father was inspirational ! INGO lost a giant of a man.

    Perhaps as a measure of comfort for us, you'd consider being a part of our community.
    I hope that you do, BigsDaddy.

    Hello. I am Big Tankers dad and I joined this group especially to thank all of you for the outpouring of love, support and financial giving for Big Tankers wife, children and family. What an outstanding group the INGO forum has been for us.
    Bigsdaddy...we're all so sorry for your loss! My condolences to you, his wife and children, and all those who knew and interacted with Dustin on a daily and weekly basis! While I never met Dustin in person, I did have several message conversations with him and his maturity, his faith, and his love of firearms and life showed through! As a retired teacher, who drove truck for nearly seven (7) years, Dustin and I would discuss the things we had in common, including driving. He is and will be missed!

    Welcome to INGO. Truly sorry for the loss you and your family have experienced. Prayers of healing and understanding continue.

    At one point, in one of the threads, it was suggested that a fund would/should be set up for future college expenses for the two little tankers. Has this idea been acted upon? If so, where can I contribute? If not, maybe somebody smarter than me can get it rolling?

    So very sorry for your loss.

    With the impact he had on here and the amount of people that will always remember him whether knowing him in person or just by his screen name, I can only imagine how hard it must be for your family and friends.
