Dustin Mark McLean

** Service Details Updated Below **

Dustin was born in Saskatoon, SK on May 4, 1981, to Mark and Susan McLean, who were living in North Battleford, SK at the time. After Mark's untimely passing in 1983, Susan and Dustin moved to Denholm, SK and this is where Dustin spent his early years.

During this time, Susan met and married Doug Tady, and the family lived in Denholm until 1993 when they moved to Battleford. Dustin took all his schooling in the Battlefords and graduated from the North Battleford Comprehensive High School in 1999.

Dustin always had a love for carpentry and woodworking, so after high school he worked with his Uncle Gregg and learned much of the trade that would become his lifelong passion. He worked for various construction companies until his job took him to Alberta in 2005 to work in construction, and later in the oilfields. Of his many accomplishments, Dustin was most proud of the Red Seal Journeyman Certificate for Rig Technician 3 he earned in 2014. At the time of his passing, Dustin owned and operated his own company Rafter M Contracting.

On August 12, 2006, Dustin married Kelly Anderson, and they continued to make their home in Ponoka, AB. Their first son, Kian, was born in May of 2007, and Kahl, their second son, was born in August of 2009. Dustin, Kelly, and the boys continued to live in Ponoka until Dustin's passing.

Dustin is survived by his wife Kelly and their two sons Kian and Kahl. He will be lovingly remembered by his parents Doug Tady and Susan McLean Tady, by his brother Drew Tady and fiancée Robyn Peter, and by his parents-in-law Gordon and Debbie Anderson. He will also be fondly remembered by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Dustin was predeceased by his father, Mark McLean, by his grandparents Don and Eileen McLean, Alex and Margaret Beveridge, and Jack and Bernadette Tady, as well as his aunt and uncle, Dorothy and Phillip Guest.

A Service of Remembrance will be held Tuesday, May 9, 2023 - 3:00 p.m. at the Alex Dillabough Centre - Battleford, SK.
