Dustin Glen Roper, born on May 5, 1970, lost his life in an automobile accident on Hwy 592 in Bastrop, LA on October 17, 2005. Dustin leaves behind a warm loving wife Angelic; and 3 sons, Michael, Devin, & Jarred Roper. Immediate surviving family members include his father, Dennis Roper of Clearwater, FL; his mother, Brenda Carruth of Ruston, LA; maternal grandparents, Louis & Lucille Jones ; paternal grandmother, Ida Roper; siblings, Alana Carruth, Hilary Roper, Colin Roper, and Mike Manning; uncles and aunt, David Roper, and Harmon & Sherry Jones. Dustin is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, George Roper. Dustin touched many hearts in his 35 years of life. Many family members and friends will miss him dearly. Dustin had many great visions and was a loving person who sacrificed a great deal helping others in need. He loved his family and friends very much and I believe he would say "As you read this, my friends, I want you to know I would love to stay with you all, please smile when you think of me, my body's gone that's all-"A Tout le Monde"-Rock-N-Roll!"
