David S. DuBose III

David S. DuBose, III, 66, loving husband of Catherine Cummings DuBose, passed away suddenly on Sunday, March 3, 2024.
Born on October 12, 1957 in Waco, TX, he grew up in Columbia, SC and Louisville, KY. He was the oldest son of the late David St. Pierre, Jr. and Isabel Hildebrand Morton.
David had a deep love for the Lord, his family and the great outdoors, finding joy in hunting and fishing off the coast. The beach brought him peace and allowed him to bask in the beauty of God's creation. He regaled us with stories about working on Burwell Manning's farm all those summers ago and referred to himself as "The Bartender To the Stars" after working at the Ivy in Los Angeles.
His masterful creations in the kitchen delighted the palates of many and served as a testament to his love of celebrating life with his friends and loved ones. When dining out, he was known to "grill" the servers about where exactly the oysters came from From his brilliant culinary skills to his penchant for swiftly conquering the NY Times Crossword puzzle (in ink!), David embodied a rare blend of intellect, humor, and versatility.
David was a Renaissance man, with the ability to fix anything and a lover of history. He was known for being larger than life, for his loyalty to family and friends, and his quick wit. He had a heart of gold.
In addition to his loving wife of 28 years, his memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of his son, David S. DuBose, IV, his pride and joy; siblings, Marjorie Rogers and husband, Marvin, of Spruce Pine, NC, George Dial DuBose, Sr. and wife, Katherine, of Williamston, SC and Retta Strohecker and husband, J. of Chapin, SC; brother-in-law, Tommy Cummings of Piedmont, CA; as well as many special cousins, nephews, and a niece.
A visitation will be held on Monday, March 11, 2024, from 1:00 p.m. until 1:45 p.m at Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes, Downtown followed by the Memorial Service at 2:00 p.m. in the Chapel.
