Dustin Ward, 35, Vero Beach

Dustin Ward, 35, of Vero Beach, passed away peacefully in his bed on Jan. 17, 2015.

He is survived by his dear parents, Larry and Vicki Ward; his beautiful wife of 13 years Michelle; and his beloved two children, Lily (9) and Dustin Jr. (7); father-in-law Miguel Davila, mother-in-law Hilda (Dale) Thomas of West Palm Beach; brothers-in-law Michael (Carrie) Davila of Royal Palm Beach and Matthew (Miriam) Davila of Lake Worth; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and a host of friends.

The sudden passing has devastated all who love and knew him.

Ward was a loving husband, father and son. He was born on July 10, 1979, in Riverside, Calif. He graduated from Wellington Community High School and married his high school sweetheart, Michelle, on Aug. 31, 2001. They welcomed their first child, Lily, four years later and their second, Dustin Jr., about two years after that.

He was a very involved and caring father, taking his kids out fishing and coaching his son’s football team. To all who knew him, he was a warm hearted, funny, down to earth, family oriented man. He will be sorely missed.
