Dustin Kenneth Klos

May 3, 1984 ~ August 8, 2022

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our son, brother and Uncle Dustin at the age of 38, with his parents by his side.

Left to cherish his memories are his parents Ken and Shelley Martini, brother Jonathan Martini (Kim), sister Lorissa Martini, and youngest brother Benjamin Martini (Katrina). Also left to cherish his memories are his nieces and nephew, Adaline, MacKenna and Nickolas along with several uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.

Dustin was predeceased by his biological father Kenny Klos, his grandparents Nicholas and Helen Kowalchuk, Stanley and Jean Klos and Casimer Martini as well as many aunts and uncles.

Dustin grew up in the Beausejour area. His love of the country was shown through his ability to get dirty within seconds of being outside. He cherished his siblings, being the protective and loving big brother to Jonathan, Lorissa and Benny. He was a happy and mischievous son who loved getting his siblings in trouble. But would be there in a heartbeat if they ever needed him.

Dustin took pride in being a great friend to many. He loved ‘joyriding’ and speed, and was known for the many vehicles and snowmobiles he had throughout the years. He was a hilarious and fearless man.

It is impossible to capture a person in an obituary; especially someone who’s adult life was largely consumed by drug use and mental illness. But this wasn’t the only side of Dustin everyone knew. He was loving, strong and protective. His most recent months were spent trying to be clean and free from drugs and this shows how incredibly strong of a person he was.

While Dustin’s passing was unexpected, he struggled with addiction and mental health and for several years, his family feared that these struggles would take his life. His family will be forever grateful that when he passed, he was safe, with his family and with God.

We take comfort in knowing that Dustin is now at peace and free from the struggle that haunted him. If one person’s life is saved by Dustin’s story, we would tell it a million more times.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a detox centre of your choice in Winnipeg in honour of Dustin.

Cremation has taken place, and a grave site service will be held at a future date.

“If you yourself are struggling from addiction, know that every breath is a fresh start. Know that hundreds of thousands of families who have lost someone to this disease are praying and rooting for you. Know that we believe with all our hearts that you can and will make it. It is never too late. Dustin would want everyone to know he’s rooting for you as well.”

    I suppose Dustin would have been about 5 years old. I had him by the ankles upside down and was pretending to pile driver his head into the floor. He was laughing like crazy and having a great time. Who knew what the future held for him?
    Our deepest sympathies are with you at this terrible time. Know that we are praying for you and for Dustin.

      He was such a whirlwind of a little boy, I will always remember him on the day that you married Ken, under the pulpit with his feet up hitting the wood, making all kinds a racket. He was mischievous, like his mom, he had a beautiful heart, he really did. God brought him home, because he knew that this world was too much for him, he’s with the Lord now, to live is Christ to die is gain.
      If I rise, let me rise on you
      Not on all of my successes, my sting or my pursuits
      If I lose, let me lose my life
      ‘Cause if I belong to Jesus, the flesh is crucified
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
      If I grow, let me grow in You
      Whilt the seeds of wanting more
      Ripped and pried out by the roots
      And if I’m still, let me hear You speak
      Not the tone of my transgressions
      But the song of the redeemed
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
      My great desire is to be with You
      But this is the place you chose for me
      This is the place you chose for me
      To lift my cross and give everything
      This is the time you gave to me
      This is the time you gave to me
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ
      For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
      I’ll never be the same
      I’ll never be the same
      For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

    I was Dustin’s friend. And his roommate in his early 20s. Sorry to hear about him passing. I have a lot of good memories with Dustin. I haven’t seen him in years. Time goes fast. Rest In Peace.

    Ken, Shelley and family, I am so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your son Dustin. Although I never had the opportunity of knowing Dustin as an adult, I enjoyed my time with him when he was quite young and fell in love with him the day I met him. I recall that he would cry every time someone would sing you are my sunshine. Dustin has many angels around him now, may he Rest In Peace.
