RAPID CITY--Dustin Alexander, 19, Rapid City was taken from us suddenly Tuesday April 15, 2008 at Rapid City Regional Hospital. He was born July 3rd 1988. He was our son, our brother, our grandson, our great-grandson, our nephew, our cousin, our friend; and his favorite, an uncle. He graduated from R.C. Central High School in 2006. He was employed as a Haul Truck Driver for the Powder River Coal Mine in Gillette, WY at the time of his death. He had recently been hired on full time with Peabody at the mine and was so excited about his future there and loved working with everybody. He was currently in the process of buying a home in Gillette. Dustin loved the outdoors and had planned on buying a boat and spending time in Yellowstone this summer. Last year he enjoyed working at the Buffalo Chip Campground and working in Alaska as a salmon fisherman for a couple months. He was a kind and caring soul and he loved nothing more than spending time with his nephew Kai. He touched countless lives in his short time with us. He was the best son anyone could wish for and we will miss him everyday until we see his beautiful blue eyes and handsome dimples again. Survivors include his mother and stepfather Connie (Cooper) and Ken Collins Rapid City SD; his father and stepmother Ken and Sheree Alexander Newell, SD; Four sisters Tiffany Alexander and Candice Collins of Rapid City: Jenny Paulson Phoenix AZ and Lindi Collins Arcata CA; his brother Kaleo Williams Rapid City; his maternal grandmother Jessie Jean Cooper of Black Hawk; and his paternal grandmother, Barbara Alexander Rapid City and so many relatives and friends that have been blessed to be part of his life we cannot list them all.
