William Dumes Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Oasis Cremation & Funeral Care on Mar. 12, 2025.
For 18 years, William shared his life with his devoted partner, Laurie Yardley and her son, Taylor Hall, and their cherished dog, Pinto Bean. He brought endless joy into their home. He was the beloved son of Arthur Dumes and Stella Creamer and the dear brother of Jennifer and Amy. His nieces, Penelope and Kadin, brought immense happiness to his life.
William cherished deep bonds with his extended family: his uncle and aunt, Frank and Sandi Oniszko, and cousins Libby, Ryan, Levi, and Roselyn. He also had a special place in the hearts of his partner's family: Karen and Larry Harris, and aunts Kathy Shields, Linda Cain, and Jean Babb. They all loved him dearly.
William's warmth and generosity reached a wide circle of true friends beyond his family. Many of whom he considered family. Among them were: Matt Tutas, Tom Cocinas, Shawn and Fawn Schofield, Don Osmundson, Braydon, Margarita Morones, Eric Evers, Steve Pennington, Danielle Haney, Chris Sovereign, and Lenny Moores. He was deeply cherished by his colleagues and friends at The Egg Connection, where he spent many years creating lasting bonds and bringing smiles to countless faces.
William's presence lit up every room. His laughter was contagious and his loyalty was unwavering. He lived with an open heart, always ready with a helping hand and a kind word. He will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate to know him.
A celebration of William's life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor his memory and share cherished stories of the wonderful man he was.
Rest easy, William. Your love and spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those whose lives you touched.

To my beloved son no farewell words were spoken. There was no time to say my proper goodbye. You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to me to lose you no one will ever know. Rest in Peace my son. You will always be in my heart and thoughts. I love you, Mom.

Fronm the daycwe met you in 2011 you became our family. 2 weeks later you brought Zoey to Mindy. A few years later you brought Edward into our home. So many great holidays and puppies and all the dinners you made us before you and my daughter found your starter home. We cherish every moment we spent working on that house and the Thanksgiving dinners. We're glad you loved Mindys dog Pinto until the end. Thank you for all you did for our family. You are missed. Time to rest now, we love you
Love Mom, Diane Calvo
