Last Flight



In Loving Memory of Our Brother Dustin Rabe
There are no words to describe the grieving process, no rhyme nor reason cannot completely provide peace or comfort.  No amount of "whys" or "how comes" could be justified.  My brother died today. My dear brother, Dustin Rabe.  He was so young, at the age of 29, he had the whole world ahead of him.  A young pilot with a thriving business (http://ferryflightexpress.com/aboutus.aspx) ferrying planes all over the world, a brilliant entrepreneur and businessman. And my brother did it all by himself with the good guidance of those that loved him dearly. We are so proud of his tremendous achievements, of his sweetness, his compassion for others, his passion for life, travel and planes.

We all grieve today for a great young man who loved to fly the blues skies, who loved his family, friends and collegues...his voice, laughter and physical being that lived to the fullest heights imaginable.

When we close our eyes and think of you, Dustin, we are reminded of your vibrant spirit, your dimpled smile...oh your smile...we are so grateful and so very honored to have you in our lives.

It is with bittersweet sadness that we Cheers to you this day dear brother...for always chasing after your dreams, for your fearlessness, your kindness and compassion, we will miss you... till the end of time.

There are no goodbyes dear brother...we will see you again...in time, with your wings in flight...

May God comfort you and keep you in his loving and merciful arms and may peace reign in the hearts that miss you dearly.
