Dustin attended Ivy Tech Trade School and was a Journeyman Drywall Finisher. He has worked for the last several months at the New Chrysler Transmission plant at Kokomo, Indiana as a Union Painter.
He is also survived by his three precious children, Kole Daniel and Ashton Richard Elshire both of Portage, Indiana and Kaylee Ann Elshire of Kokomo, Indiana; Paternal Grandparents, Leo and Rosalie Elshire of Amboy, Indiana; Aunts, Tamra (Elshire) Draving, Marcy (Elshire) Dillon and Linda Helfin (Pretorius); Uncles, Denny Elshire and Jon Helfin; numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Paul and Eleanor Helfin.
As we celebrate the time we had with Dustin, remember all the happy tracks he left on our hearts. Whether if it be the crooked smile that made you wonder what he was up to, that story where he could convince you that he could fish a shark out of a mud puddle, or even his love for the outdoors. Dustin was a fishing fanatic, he also loved hunting for animals and mushrooms. That love can only be surpassed by the love he had for his children. As Dustin roams his new happy hunting grounds; remember he is still with us in the raindrop that kisses your cheek, the wind that blows your hair, and the star that flickers the brightest in the sky. He will live on through his children. Embrace and celebrate the life of Dustin Lee Elshire that we were so lucky to be a part of.
