Rusty was born in Calvert, to Volney "Bubba" Alston III and Mary Foyle Alston. He married Angela Lopez and started his family in Calvert, Tx. Rusty had a very storied career which began at Hartfield's Funeral home and continued with the Marlin Fire department. After this he worked at Alenco, where he met his wife.  His next opportunity came through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant. After competing with men half his age, through grit and determination he was able to realize his dream of becoming a full-time firefighter for the Tomball Fire Department.  He also worked for Robertson County EMS and was currently working part-time for Waller County ESD 200 and dedicated countless hours to the Calvert Volunteer Fire Department for over 20 years.

He deeply loved his family and would often share stories with his coworkers about all the things going on with his wife and children.

Rusty had varied interests.  Whether it was his vast knowledge of history or his ability to quote all kinds of movies.  He was an avid high school and college football fan, especially the Baylor Bears.  Dancing, singing karaoke, back roading, and smoking cigars is just a few more hobbies he enjoyed.  You could often find him swimming at the pool with his family and listening to all different types of music.

He is preceded in death by his father Bubba Alston and father-in-law Arturo 'Chino' Lopez.

He is survived by his wife of 15 years Angela, sons Arturo and Cary; Mother Mary Foyle; brother Warren Alston and Beth, Sister Cherie Del Esclavon and Kirk, mother -in-law Beatrice Lopez, brother-in-law Mark Lopez and wife Heather; nephews and nieces Jonah, Hannah, Rebekah, and Judah; sister-in-law Monica Lopez; along with many friends, and fire family who loved him dearly.
