Dustin E. "Dusty" Westenbarger, 45, of Fostoria, passed away Friday, July 19, 2024, while in California.

Dusty graduated early in 1996 from Fostoria City Schools and became an electrician and technician for many companies, including Findlay Industries. He had a quick wit, unique laugh, and warm and sensitive personality. He made friends very effortlessly. His natural curiosity inspired him to investigate all things technical, including but not limited to computer sciences and mechanics. Dusty enjoyed a wide range of music, especially by Aerosmith, The Beatles, and Rolling Stones.
