We pray for comfort and strength during this time, that God would give you all Peace which surpasses all understanding, as we remember Deston and the wonderful personality he showed to others.

To the Tibbs Family and the great multitude of extended family, friends and co-workers. Your expressions have greatly increased my admiration for Deston. He really was a young man and gentleman that everyone loved. He obviously applied the training that he received from his parents. And like all of us - he did his very best to uphold our Christian values. I too am in disbelief. I will miss my nephew. Even though I am grief stricken with sadness, I have the hope as expressed at John 5:28,29. Our God is Jehovah is Merciful Kind and Just. - Jeremiah Frazier
May the love of GOD comfort you during this difficult time Marvin L Henderson Ravenna OH

Deston was a character like his dad. Can't wait to see him again in Paradise where death, pain, and suffering will be no more. ❤️ - Maria & Charles Crase
He had a bright personality. I worked worked with him in two different Walmart's and when I first him he showed kindness to me. I would always greet him and he would greet back. He would make my day whenever I saw him. I would look for him at work just to say greet him. This is not a goodbye but a see you soon.
Loved that man Deston. My dawg was the reason I would be excited to come to work every day knowing I'd see him and get to chat it up and cut up with him.. man. I can't believe he's gone. More than a great guy, Deston spread joy and positive energy to me and to everyone at work. Love my dawg forever. (It's never a goodbye, it's just a "see you later"). Until next time to my great friend Deston. He will be greatly missed by everyone at work, friends, family and especially me. LLDT🕊️

Deston you definitely had a soul and spirit like no other!!! You will forever be missed by so many of us. From the day I met you I knew you could light up any room you walked in. You are the biggest gentleman and sweetheart I've ever come across. I will miss seeing your smile so much!!! May your soul rest in peace. You are loved by an entire community❤️🩹 Praying for you and your family.
Destin was a sweet young man. We loved him a lot and we'll miss him a lot. It will be a joyous day when we welcome him back in paradise. ❤️
Ohhh Deston. The sweetest! Rest easy little cousin. You were the sweetest! Anytime I'd run into you at Walmart you'd always say "hey cousin". I'll always remember you as the little Deston that was on Underwood. You grew up to still be the kind person you were as a kid. Rest Easy!
To the Tibbs family please know that we are praying for you all. God is faithful!! Though at times we can't see or understand His ways or comprehend His plan, His ways are perfect! From what I could see, Dustin lived his life with purpose. May his siblings, friends and extended family members come to know the Lord through his passing. Even so, come Lord Jesus!!

Deston Was Always Soft Spoken & Reserved, I Loved Talking To Him Before, After Or Even Briefly In The Restroom During Meetings. I Always ❤️ Encouraged Him To Stick With Serving Jehovah & He Would Welcome The Encouragement. I ❤️ Love Him Dearly & I So Look Forward To Seeing Him Again Very Soon In Paradise !!!
Me and you met and high school and we became friends so fast. I could tell you was raised right because you were such a gentleman. Even when the bus was about to leave you still walked me down the hill across the street to get home lol. Deston you really was my best friend for real. When I was down you made my day better. It breaks my heart to the core that you left us. Never in my life have I met a pure hearted soul until you. You could never be replaced in my heart. I love you always- Your forever friend
I only had the privilege of meeting you once. But from that first encounter I knew you were a special young man. Words alone cannot express the sadness that my heart feels for your mother and father, the later of whom I had the honor going to school with, graduating with and standing side by side with on the gridiron. Know that you are loved by so many people in the community, And we will meet again. Much love to you my young Sir. Rest easy.
Every time I seen my cousin no matter where we would just start smiling, Man it's hard to believe your gone lil cousin..... it seems like it was just yesterday I seen.... you working and we chatted it up like always for a lil bit. I know you and Kala were so close in school she always called you her brother. You have been Such an inspirational person in our lives anyone that knew you knows what I'm talking about you were caring, loving and helpful to people in more ways than I could count and for sure, you knew how to make someone smile and laugh. You had such a unique swag that I have never seen any other young men have. I know God has his reasons for bringing people home And some of us may not understand why he couldn't leave you here for a little while longer. I know you are up there smiling down on all of us, and your spirit will forever be a part of our lives. I love you little cousin prayers for our family as we walk thru this hard time together. I know our grandmother equipped us to be supporters, comforters, and all around servants to our neighbors, family, and friends may we embrace each other in this time of need and continue embracing one another for all the days of our lives. I know we will see you Again someday!!🙏🏾💔🕊️
I remember the day he got hired at the walmart I work at. He's always been a calm, easy going kind of guy. I didn't know him on a personal level but, we've had some good conversations. May his soul rest in peace.
I didn't know him very long but he was a sweet and intelligent young man. I will miss him. He was one of our team leads where I work.
