With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Dustin Workman, born on July 30, 1984, in Lompoc, CA, and who departed this life on December 20, 2025, in Salem, UT. Dustin was a loving husband, devoted father, loyal son, and cherished brother. He was an embodiment of humility and thoughtfulness, always putting the needs of others before his own. His life was a testament to the scripture, “By love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13). He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where he served in many capacities, including Elder’s Quorum, 2 bishoprics, and a full-time mission in the Chile Santiago West Mission.

Dustin was a man of many talents and passions. He was an Eagle Scout and a lover of the outdoors. Whether it was hiking, mountain biking, hunting, or roller-blading, his spirit soared when he was amidst nature. His love for woodworking and playing the guitar or ukulele were testaments to his creative and artistic side. Dustin was a graduate of Lompoc High School (2002) and BYU (2011). Dustin loved his job at BYU, working with the auto shop and warehouse.  But nothing mattered more to Dustin than his family. His love for his children was fierce and unwavering, and he was a beacon of light and strength for them.

Dustin is survived by his beloved wife, JaRele Workman, and their three children, Jacob, Derek, and Eliana. He also leaves behind his mother, Tiffany Escobedo, step-father, Steven Escobedo, mother-in-law Camille Winn, father-in-law Richard Winn.  He leaves behind his sister Opal (Scott) Bauldry, brothers Grant (Michelle) Riley, Devin Riley, Hunter Riley, Jeremy Riley, and brother-in-law Matt (Emily) Winn. Dustin had many nieces and nephews, Trent, Trinity, Cleighton, Eli, Lincoln, Wesley, Sebastian and Penelope. He was preceded in death by his father, Mark McGrath, and his grandparents, Albert and Margaret Workman.
