Paul Owen Dumont was born July 16, 1986 in New York City.  He attended grammar school at PS 261 in Brooklyn, NY, then middle and high school at the Brooklyn Friends School.  He subsequently attended Hofstra University and Palm Beach State College.  He had lived in South Florida since 2008 and passed away at his home in Delray Beach on November 21, 2018.  He is survived by his parents Robert and Judith Dumont, his sister Alexandra, and his nieces Iris and Thea, all of Brooklyn.

Paul had worked in the recovery field as a result of his own struggles with addiction and cared deeply about helping other people who also struggled with this condition.  He wanted to serve his community the way it had served him.  His family is proud of how hard he worked to fight his addiction and of all the good things he built in his life despite it.

Paul had an enormous and tender heart. He was a loving son, brother, and uncle as well as being the world's most devoted cat-parent. He was curious about everything and took nothing in life for granted—he wanted to understand all the mysteries of the universe and would call you at all hours to talk about them.

A visitation for Paul will be held on Thursday, November 29, 2018 from 2-4 PM and 7-9 PM at Lorne & Sons Funeral Home, 745 NE 6th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483.
