A tribute of Dustin Royce Glenn’s life may be found at www.memorialdesigners.net, where you may leave memories and expressions of sympathy for his family.Dustin Royce Glenn was born in Lubbock Texas on October 27, 1975 to Royce and Cindy Glenn.  While always being a Texan at heart, Dustin’s life and dreams lead him to live in a variety of places including Nashville, TN; Dallas, TX; Atlanta, GA and most recently Florida.Dustin first moved to Nashville, TN in 1998 where he worked as a songwriter and a successful touring musician.  Music was his passion and would be a huge part of his life from an early age.  He was one of those talented guys who could play almost any instrument, drums, guitar, bass, piano, and would later become a great front man in his own bands.Dustin’s talents didn’t stop at being a musician, though. He was also a phenomenal songwriter. He had the uncanny ability to take his life experiences and turn them into songs that would take you along on his life journey with him.  He wrote songs that you could feel, songs that you could smell, and songs that let you in on who he was at his core.  Don’t let that fool you, though; not all of his songs were serious!  Humor was also a huge part of who Dustin was, and that also came through in his songwriting!  He wrote countless songs that would leave your belly hurting from laughter.  That was Dustin Glenn, serious when he needed to be, but the life of the party when appropriate, even sometimes when it wasn’t appropriate.  Ok, most of the time it was inappropriate, but that was Dustin, and we all loved him for that. No matter what, he would ALWAYS light up a room when he walked into it.Dustin was a genuinely caring man who never met a stranger and was a friend to everyone that he met.  He was a storyteller, a jokester, and could spin a yarn better than anyone.  His stories are things that legends are made of, even if some of them may have been “embellished” a little.Above everything else, the family was Dustin’s number one priority in life.  His children, Ashton, Garrett, Mackenzie, Carter, and Kennedy, were his world.  He was so proud of his children and their accomplishments. He would often talk about how proud he was of Garrett and the man that he had become, how excited he was for Ashton to be getting married, how he couldn’t believe that his girl Mac was already driving and what a beautiful young lady she had become.  He would talk about what a stud Carter was in football and how much he loved getting to play music with his son, and how Kennedy Bell’s talents in art “just blew him away.”  To say that he was a proud papa would be an understatement.The world is a much better place because of Dustin Glenn.Dustin is survived by his wife Andrea Barton Glenn; his five children: Ashton, Garrett, Mackenzie, Carter, and Kennedy Glenn; his mother, Cindy Glenn; his father, Royce Glenn and his wife Clara; his grandfather, Bruce Baker; brother, Ramsey Glenn; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
