Michael Dustin Summerlin, age 41, known as Dusty, was born on August 3, 1983, in Catawba County. He left this world on June 26, 2025, at his home in Alexander County. Dusty was a cherished son, father, brother, uncle, and friend who touched the lives of many during his time with us.

His interests extended beyond school, as he enjoyed playing the guitar, engaging in karate, and had a passion for firearms.
