Dusty Lee Read, 36, passed away November 19, 2021 at the Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah after a long battle with heart problems.
Dusty was born July 20, 1985 in Deming, New Mexico to Stacey Hays. He attended Deming Highschool where he enjoyed FFA and 4H. His youth was spent showing animals in the fair, fishing, and teaching his sisters to hunt. After graduating Dusty moved to Oklahoma where he worked and made lifelong friends. After a few years in Oklahoma Dusty joined the United States Navy and spent 4 years traveling the world and defending our freedom. After being honorably discharged from the Navy Dusty came home to Deming to spend time with his family. He worked with his dad at the family business. Every week Dusty used all his extra money to spoil his niece Carlie, Kylie, and Gracelyn. Any spare moment Dusty could find was spent fishing, coyote hunting or reloading with his brother-in-law and best friend Chris Griffith. A few years down the road he moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to be closer to doctors and medical resources following his heart transplant. Dusty had good years in Utah with new friends and loved ones. He spent his last days doing what he loved, fishing and hunting, and shooting. Dusty always helped anyone in need, and made sure his family was taken care of. He was caring, an amazing listener, and passionate about things he held dear in his heart. His memory will be kept alive by his parents Curtis and Stacey; his sisters, JaNeil Crawford, Crystal Griffith and her husband Chris, and Jessica Rickman and her husband Cooper; his fiancé, Nataleigh Barlow; his nieces Carlie Rose, Kylie Jack, Gracelyn Paige, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He is preceded in death by his grandmothers, Nellie Hays (Mammie) and Robbie Jo Crawford (Granny). Forever missed but never forgotten.
A memorial service will be on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at 10:30am with Ken Avaritt Jr. officiating.
Arrangements are with Terrazas Funeral Chapels & Crematory.
