Monday, October 24, 2016I enjoy to this day."Rustad went to parochial schools and studied theology. He played baseball and volleyball, but music was his passion.In his teens he met Leslie Aragon, now the pastor of Santa Ana Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church. The two played songs together at worship services. Aragon sensed Rustad's compassion."He never said no to an invitation to help out with songs," Aragon, 58, said. "He'd talk about praying for the sick and dying. His heart was touched at an early age for caring and loving other people."•••More than 40 years later, Aragon sees the same spirit. He tells the story of a young Mexican woman with AIDS and no support system."If Roger had not cared for her, found someone to speak Spanish and just dismissed her as another poor person to die from AIDS, she wouldn't have made it," Aragon said. "Now she's a deacon in our church."At Southwestern Adventist University, Rustad studied theology, education and architecture. From there he helped design and build churches throughout the Southwest. He established congregations in Arkansas, Louisiana, Arizona and California.Rustad, his wife and three children settled in Laguna Hills. He got involved with charitable organizations such as the AIDS Services Foundation and food-distribution programs. In the 1980s he started volunteering at Mission Hospital.Now he works nights at the hospital as an on-call trauma chaplain and days as a chaplain at St. Joseph Hospice. He's been at the bedsides of hundreds of patients who have died and has given solace to thousands of trauma victims and their families.He's on call 12 or more nights a month. Some nights he's sits with a dying patient. Others he's up all night, often the first to interact with trauma victims and their families. Whether his pager buzzes once a night or throughout it, he is ready 24 hours a day. He has no private phone number."Almost everyone will go through an experience where they question if there is a God," Rustad said. "I come as a friend and help them sort out the fragments of their lives."For most of his life, Rustad deals with death and dying. He recharges his soul with music. He plays a dozen instruments."Music helps me take my mind off some of the trauma and refocus," he said. "Music is one of God's gifts to man, and the right kind of music can soothe the mind. It's kind of like thinking with sounds."Pam Pullen won't forget the compassionate, down-to-earth man from Texas. Pullen and her husband, Dave, were struck by a motorist while biking along Olympiad in Mission Viejo in May 2006. She was critically injured.Rustad organized a Web site, put together a life video of Dave Pullen and drove Pam Pullen around town to find a place to hold her husband's memorial after she left the hospital a month after their accident."Roger was in the room with me when they told me Dave didn't make it," she said. "He was very compassionate. He had an understanding you could relate to. He's amazing and gives of himself. I've never met anyone like him."Arlene Royston, ...
