He was born June 14, 1982, in Topeka, Kansas, the son of Darin and Dayla (Proctor) Cripe. He graduated high school from Santa Fe Trail in 2000, and then attended Allen County Community College.

Dustin was employed by Veterans Affairs in Topeka, Kansas, for 17 years, where he worked as the Management and Program Analyst for Enrollment Case Management. Dustin took pride in his career, and truly loved his job. He received many work certificates showing appreciation for his hard work and years of service.

Dustin loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his daughter Madison. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing, video games, watching the Kansas City Chiefs, college softball, Kansas City Royals, as well as KU Jayhawks Basketball; whether the games were on TV or in person, and we absolutely cannot forget his deep love for Ketchup. It was a hobby of his to give everyone he knew nicknames, and was always joking around. He truly was such a kind and generous person.
