A touching message from Dirk Carstens’ son, Derick Carstens:
It’s with a broken heart that I say that at 2:40 am today Dirk Carstens my hero my dad my best friend drew his last breath. He went peacefully to be with his Savior Jesus Christ and to dance with my Momma for an early birthday present. I am shattered the only comfort I have is that they were reunited and that he is in the arms of the Father. No more suffering no more pain. I love you Daddy and I will miss you. Fair winds and following seas on your new journey papa. I love you.
A date for Dirk Carstens’ memorial service will soon be announced.

To the Carstens family: I am Sam Johnson, DECOM CO. I remember Petty Officer Dirk Carsten very well. He an the entire Missile Division were some of the best sailors I ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. May he rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord, Jesus. Sam Johnson CDR, USN (Ret'd)
