Robert Samuel Dumont

Robert Samuel Dumont, 83, of Traverse City, passed away on October 29, 2026.

Robert was born on August 28, 1943, in Muskegon, Michigan, to the late Samuel and Virginia (Freeland) Dumont. After finishing school, he served his country in the United States Air Force. He took pride in being a veteran throughout his life and was a member of the American Legion.

Robert spent 35 years working in golf course maintenance and repair, and much of that time was spent fixing golf carts. Away from work, he enjoyed collecting rocks, spending time with his model railroads, and taking trips to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. He was a member of Flowing Waters Church.

Those who knew Robert will remember how smart and funny he was. They’ll also remember his 14 spider tattoos, which he was especially proud of.

Robert is survived by his sister, Chris (Richard) Gum, friend Camryn Nesbitt and several other family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents. Memorial Contributions may be directed to a charity of ones choice.
