Michael Dustin Belew

Belew, Dusty, age 54, of Mt. Juliet, passed away on Saturday, January 3, 2026. Dusty dedicated his professional life to working as an IT specialist for American Jewelry Co., where his knowledge and commitment were greatly valued. Outside of work, music was one of his greatest passions—he was an avid musician and songwriter who played both guitar and keyboards, and he was a devoted fan of Ozzy Osbourne. Dusty also had an unwavering love for Notre Dame, proudly cheering on the Fighting Irish whenever they took the field. Above all else, he was a deeply loving father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend, whose kindness, enthusiasm, and warmth touched everyone who knew him. He will be missed dearly.
