Obituary for Dustin Craig Linker On Thursday evening, August 30th, 2018, our beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend Dustin Craig Linker passed away peacefully at home with his wife by his side. Dustin danced with the devouring and malicious cancer, which ultimately took his life, but not his spirit. His strong will to survive kept him out of bed and walking til his last hours.
Dustin was 41 years young. Dustin was born July 6, 1977 in Lander, Wyoming to Karin L. Linker and Scott R. Keller. Karin and Scott were blessed with a daughter, Holly.
Holly and Dustin grew up in Riverton, Wyoming, attending and graduating Riverton High School. Holly is blessed with two boys of her own. Dustin grew up loving motocross, the mountains, being outdoors and hanging out with friends.
He never met a stranger. He attended one year of Central Wyoming College before pursuing a life in Jackson, Wyoming to snowboard. There, he met his soulmate and best friend, Lynn Neil.
They were together for 17 years, one and a half of which they were married. Together, they moved to Utah so Lynn could pursue college. They are very blessed with a son, Kiran Glenn Linker, 15 months old.
Dustin and Lynn spent their years chasing their snowboard dreams. Dustin coached and mentored numerous athletes, some making it to the professional level. He traveled all over the world filming, coaching, feeding, housing and being a role model to many kids.
He taught us to never give up and to always follow your dream with passion. He is survived by his wife Lynn, son Kiran, mother Karin Keller, sister Holly Vincent, nephews Craig and Logan Vincent, sister-in-law Rachel Hopkins, mother-in-law Jane Nicholson, father-in-law Thomas Neil. Preceded in death by his father Scott Keller, uncle Randy Woodard, grandparents Don and Alma Woodward, Herman and Ruby Linker, Cliff and Rita Evins.
