Oh, how we will miss your contagious smile and happy spirit. I will never forget the look on your face as you passed me on the bridge run. I am happy with the knowledge you are healed but sad for the hole you left. Until we see each other again!

We had the best time with him swimming at the dock in Forest Cove. I remember when he lost his hearing aid and was so worried, but he said it was worth it because he had so much fun. I am so very sorry for your loss and just know that he touched our hearts and brought us many smiles. He will be so so deeply missed. Praying for y’all in this sad time.

Dennis and Shaaron. Jerina and I were shocked to hear of Dustins passing . We moved to Jacksonville 15 months ago to Live near our grandchildren and lost contact with everyone back at the church . We loved Dustin and always enjoyed talking to him when we would see him at the church. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead . Love y’all!

Jennifer and I both have very fond memories of serving with Dustin and love you always saw in him. Thank the Lord and the Meeks family for sharing him with all of us. Find peace knowing the impact he had on so many.

- Greg and Jennifer McGilton,Alabama , Birmingham

I Volunteered with Dustin at the lighthouse. He was one of my really good friends there and he would always show kindness to everyone around him. This year I told him that me and my friend sophia would be graduating this year and he was so thrilled to hear that and said that he would love to make it to our graduation. sadly that won’t be able to happen. however he is with God and he would always tell me to look to better things when a problem came. he brought me closer to the church than i ever was before and i can never thank him enough for that. he will always be in my heart forever and always. he lived and amazing life with a wonderful family and friends who aspired to have a heart like he did.

We surely will miss you sweet Dustin ❤️ You taught us so much on what it means to love like Jesus. You never failed to ask me about each and every person in our family and remembering every detail of their lives. You loved people with a genuine heart, paying attention and listening to everyone you befriended. What a beautiful example for all of us on what it looks like to love with intention. We love you so much Meeks family.

We had the pleasure of meeting Dustin when we began volunteering at Lighthouse. His joy serving Jesus was so evident; he always had a smile on his face. We have missed him and will continue to miss him. We find joy in knowing he is free from pain and now worshipping at the feet of Jesus. Dustin, we will see you again!

Mr. and Mrs. Meeks and family- Oh, how Dustin impacted my life. When I first met him when I was in high school, I knew he had the love of Jesus for all he encountered. He was such a warm, friendly presence whenever I would see him and he always wanted to know what was going on in my life. I know you all were so proud of him! There never has been and never will be another Dustin Meeks. Our loss is heaven's (and Dustin's) gain!

Dustin will surely be missed. His smile and kindness was contagious and always made me smile when I saw him. The lobby at church will not be the same without him.

- Tiffanie Livingston,Georgia, Savannah

Dustin was such a caring guy. Before I moved to Effingham county, Miriam and I would always see Dustin during Manna. He would always ask how Miriam was. He also played a part in welcoming my adopted daughter as she entered the United States. Sharon and Dennis I send my condolences. And thank you for allowing him to be a part of Miriam's and my life

- Joy & Miriam Haralson,Ga, Springfield

Dustin.... Love you buddy and miss our YMCA workouts. You inspire us all!

- Mark Moody,GA, Savannah

Sharon and Dennis, You are amazing parents and Dustin was an amazing young man. I met him when my daughter worked at Chick-Fil-A. She had foot surgery so I got to go on the dolphin tour for their Christmas party. Dustin was cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. I remember him working the Journey and again so kind; always smiling and talking to everyone. He never let anything stop him. May God wrap His arms around you and give you comfort during the hard time. Blessings always.

- Shari and Dwane Hendricks,GA, Savannah

Dear Dennis and Sharon, I was saddened to hear about your news, but gladdened for I know without a shadow of a doubt, Dustin is home with the Lord. Christians are to strive to be Christlike, I'd settle for being more Dustinlike... for to have the faith in Christ as Dustin has is an example to us all. Thank you for letting Dustin be himself, an example of brave parents who also gave him the freedom to fly then and now on high with Jesus and the Heavenly Hosts. As the song says, I can 'only imagine' Dustin seeing the Lord and his face shining brighter than ever now in His presence. May God bless the entire Meeks family in this time. But be ye ever comforted by knowing, truly understanding, Dustin is more ALIVE than ever. Oh to be more like Dustin in our own daily walk and work for Christ. God be with you all.

- Josh Sheffield,GA, Brooklet

Dustin was a sweetheart. I'm thankful for Emmaus and the opportunity to meet him on this earth! Thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Sharon and Dennis, it breaks my heart that I was at sea when Dustin passed. I would have been in Savannah at his funeral and regret so much that I was not. I would have wanted to be there to share my love and condolences with all of you. I'm not sure I have ever known a more loving family than yours. It was always an extraordinary experience to be in your presence and see your awesome expressions of love for each other. The smiles on your faces were always so telling....the aura of Christian faith and love, was amazing. Your devotion to each other and your awesome love and care for Dustin was a ministry because it warmed the hearts of so many who came in contact with you. Dustin had the faith and trust in God that so many of us live a lifetime trying to obtain. There is no doubt where he abides today...it is easy to see him in the arms of Jesus. I love you and you will be in my prayers. Debbie Holmes Carter
