Dustin “Dusty” Franklin Maxfield, age 41, of Bloomington passed away Thursday (07/09/2020) at I.U. Health; Bloomington Hospital. Born February 14, 1979 in Indianapolis, he was the son of Frank W. and Deborah (Feltner) Maxfield. Dusty was an electrician and HVAC service technician for Bloomington Heating and Cooling. He was a member of City Church for All Nations and the Lamplighters Christian community. Dusty enjoyed hunting, fishing, being involved with 4-H with his sons and working with his hands and on his farm. He especially loved working in the barn taking motors apart. If he didn’t know how to fix it, he found a way. He loved taking the kids on tractor rides on their great-grandfather’s Ford tractor. He was a Chevy man, but loved that Ford tractor with all his heart. Dusty was an amazing father to his duderoos and all his kids. He had an enormous heart and would help anyone and everyone, loving his family and friends with all his heart and soul. Amber was the love of his life and she gave him the life he always wanted and two amazing boys. Dusty was Amber’s soulmate and they shared an unimaginable love for one another.
