It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and Past Exalted Ruler, Dustin Young. Dustin was a great man, a dedicated Elk, and a true servant of our community, giving countless hours of his time to help others and strengthen our Lodge. His kindness, leadership, and commitment will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences are with his wife, Lisa, and their two wonderful sons during this difficult time. May his life be written upon the tablets of love and memory.
