Dustin Mathew Valverde Sr.
Dustin was born to this earth on May 27, 1973 in New Orleans. Dustin most recently resided in Spring Hill, Tennessee. He made his shocking and sudden transition to heaven on August 10, 2020, oddly enough, in New Orleans.
Dustin graduated from West Jefferson High School. He then moved on to school followed by practical training to become a Riverboat Captain. Dustin loved being on the water. Although he spent so many years on the water, his last job was as the Plant Operations Director for a 115-bed Assisted Living Community. His knack for being able to fix anything and his love and respect for the elderly made this the perfect job for Dustin. He made other people’s lives better every single day.
Dustin truly had a heart of gold, a shining soul and would do anything for everybody. He had a way about him that he never met a stranger and always made people feel special.
He is survived by his mother Mary Ann Valverde Anthony and her husband Frosty Anthony, sister Leslie Frisch and her husband Steven, brother Leffy Valverde and his wife Jodi, sister Christie Valverde. He is also survived by his wife Ashley Valverde, as well as his children Victoria, Dylan, Valerie, Dustin Jr (Dusty) and Demi Dale. A piece of Dustin can be seen in each of his children and his spirit lives on with many of us.
