November 16, 2023
Boyd David DuMont of Hagley Estates, co-founder of DuMont Brothers Construction Co., died Nov. 11 surrounded by his family. He was 65.
He was born Jan. 4, 1958, in Malone, N.Y., the second of six children of David and K. Clare DuMont. He grew up in Potsdam, N.Y., and began working at a young age in his father’s construction company. He learned early in life the importance of hard work and the value of a large, loving family. Following graduation from Potsdam High School in 1976, Boyd attended Canton Agricultural and Technical College where he took courses related to the building industry. He soon started working full-time in his father’s business, where he learned the skills of all the different jobs needed to build and remodel homes.
Mr. DuMont married Suzanne Griffin in 1980. They moved to South Carolina in 1982. He co-founded DuMont Brothers Builders with his father and brother and worked tirelessly to ensure its success. That success was one of his greatest accomplishments. He was also proud of creating, with his wife, a loving and supportive family, all of whom are hard workers and family focused.
In his spare time, he enjoyed being with family and friends, camping in the Adirondacks, boating, playing with his grandkids and completing any and all chores around the house. In addition to his wife and his mother, he is survived by his children, Nathanael DuMont (Angie), Danielle Hodson (David), Griffin DuMont (Brittany), Adham DuMont (Megan), Brigette DuMont, Victoria DuMont, Noah DuMont and Katelynn DuMont; three grandchildren, Nolan Hodson, Harper DuMont and Luke DuMont; and his siblings, Michael DuMont, Stephen DuMont, Gregory DuMont and Jennifer Pankau.
In addition to his father, his brother Matthew DuMont died before him.
A visitation will be held Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. at Goldfinch Funeral Home’s Pawleys Island chapel. The family will hold a private service at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Amedisys Hospice, 402 Singleton Ridge Rd. Conway, SC 29526.
