Student remembered for smile, cheerful personality

Adam and Mikaela Kearney are sure Dustin Tesdahl is walking around heaven, giving the angels high fives.
The Blue Hill brother and sister said that’s just what the happy 18-year-old would have been doing in the halls of Blue Hill High School today. Tonight, he would have been cheering his heart out at the home football game against Doniphan-Trumbull High School.
But Dustin’s life was cut short Wednesday in a fatal, fiery crash while he was riding the bus home from school. Three others also were killed in the crash between the Blue Hill school bus and semitrailer truck about 10 miles southeast of the town.
“He was the most cheerful guy that I have ever known in my whole life,” said Mikaela, 18, who graduated from Blue Hill in May and is a freshman at Kaplan University in Lincoln.
