This is from My Facebook Because I can’t bear to type it again.
I have just been informed of the passing Dusten McKee. You have heard the old saying “He was Like a Son to me” ?  Well, it was very true with Dusten. He went to school with Jek, and, when they would “Ditch” school I was Dusten’s Father on the phone. I have many happy memories of him in those years. We played music together (He Played Bass). We made these tapes back then pretending to be a radio station.(You remember me talking about the “DOGG TAPES” For their English Lit Book report we made a film of Beowulf (this was long before the blockbuster) I played Grendel’s Mother. (think Monty Python) and Dusten plays Beowulf. The “outtakes” are better than the Film. In the scene where he kills me, I am doing this old overacting dying and he screams “DIE ALL READY!. In another school film for science class, Jek Plays Johnny Seltzer: Private Neutralizer. His Side Kick is Dusten as “Crime Bustin’ Rustin’ Dusten”. For their Senior Prom I chauffeured Jek and Dusten and their dates around all night dressed as Jake Blues -  in our Bluesmobile. After Dusten graduated, he joined the Army and I kinda lost track of him then.  After he got out, he came up with the idea to start a Paintball field on the land that MRambler owned. They all started Dodge City Paintball. About 5 or 6 years ago I heard that Dusten had become a Cop In Nicoma Park. I went along with him on a “ride along” one night. He told me that he was trying to get on in Del City. He became a Officer in Del City, OK soon after that. The last time that I saw him was at the funeral of Robo’s Wife Deb. He looked good and happy. said he was having a great time on the force. I told him to always be careful: I know that cops put it on the line every day, and I didn’t want to read his Line of duty Obit. My heart is sad right now, and I still can’t wrap my mind around what has happened. I was told that he took his own life on New Years Day. This is so heartbreaking for me. A sad and tearful farewell to the kid I called my “Son”.
