Growing up in a time where technology was rapidly changing and children and teens were introduced to home video gaming, Dustin Wood still loved spending his childhood being outdoors and working on the family farm. He was hard working, loving, patient and he was a great prankster! Being a handy man and a MacGyver, Dustin could fix anything. His family and friends meant the most to him and none of them were ever surprised if he was running late. Dustin was outgoing and could start a conversation with anyone, no matter where he was at.

Dustin J. Wood was born January 6, 1979 in Fort Wayne at St. Joseph Hospital. He was the 3!
rd born child of Guy and Sharon (Engle) Wood and was raised in rural Whitley County south of Columbia City. He enjoyed being outdoors riding four wheelers, fishing, hunting, participated for 10 years of the Whitley County 4-H and loved the thrill being in the demolition derby. As he attended Columbia City High School, Dustin competed in football and wrestling and graduated with the Class of 1997.

For over 20 years, he built pole barns for Gruettert Buildings in Columbia City. After his father passed away in 1998, Dustin and his brother, Aaron continued to operate the family farm.

On September 20, 2008 he married Tana Perkins and was proud to be a dad to three boys. He passed his love of 4-H to them and helped them raise goats. Dustin enjoyed traveling and he and Tana were looking forward to a trip to Jamaica in February.">
