Dustin Edwards, 23 years of age, passed away August 12, 2016. Dustin was born January 4, 1993 in Alexandria, LA. He was a good 'ol boy, raised up in the Gorum area; Dustin was full of life, laughter, and loved to have fun. He couldn't stand to see someone hurting or sad, and always did what he could to make them smile. His love in life was his little girl who he cherished with all of his heart. He was a tough guy on the outside, but was just a teddy bear once you got to know him. He loved to hog hunt and bowfish, and never passed a chance to do either. Dustin was a hard worker, and was employed by Stephenson Environmental as a supervisor. He will be deeply missed by all of his family and friends. He is survived by his parents, Shirley M. Edwards and Jimmy Edwards of Gorum, LA; his birth mother, Patricia Darlene Edwards of Gorum; his daughter, Avery Grace Edwards of Natchitoches, LA; his sisters, Denise DeRamus and husband Eddie of Shreveport, LA, Courtney Nicole Rachal of Provencal, LA, Chasity Taylor Rachal of Alexandria, LA, and Angela Alexis Morris of Dodson, LA; his brothers, Chris Edwards and wife Sherry of Gorum, LA, Corey Alexander Rachal of Cloutierville, LA, and Adam Dalme of Campti, LA; several special nieces and nephews, Kearston and Zackary Edwards, Hailey and DeVine DeRamus, and Daniel and Nevaeh Rister; as well as numerous other nieces, nephews, family, and friends. He was preceded in death by his sister, Theresa Angela Edwards; his maternal grandparents, Eunice and Jerry Boles; and his paternal grandparents, Coatie and Eloise Edwards.
