Stacy, Curtis, Kyle, and Megan we are thinking of you. We will remember Coach Kelly as the big man with the even bigger laugh. Kevin, Vera, Josh, Brandon & Joel ~ Kevin Wright
Kelly was a great teacher, coach and later a great friend. He made a difference in many people's lives and I am sure all positive. Even though we have the assured hope of the resurrection (Acts 24:15) to a restored Paradise (Isaiah 35:1,2) on earth (Psalm 37:10-11,29) where we will see our loved ones yet again we are still saddened as Jesus was regarding the death of his dear friend Lazarus. Even he gave way to tears (John 11:35) despite the fact he knew he would bring Lazarus back to life in a few short minutes (John 11:43-44). We look forward to seeing him again in the very near future. ~ Garth Schill
We are so very sorry for your loss, words cannot express what an amazing man Kelly was. He was a mentor to my children and changed their lives which in turn changed all of our lives forever.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Dumont family xo. ~ Shontell, Alexis, Kassidy Sigda

Kelly was one of the stalwart legacies in the Regina wrestling community. He was an inspiration as a coach, and I vividly remember the support and encouragement I received on multiple occasions from him. In particular, in 2000 I traveled to Saskatoon for Provincials and because I was one of the few student athletes from my highschool he took over my corner during my matches and for this I`ll be forever grateful. Rest in peace Kelly, my prayers are with your family. ~ Colin McCannell

Mr Dumont cared about the people that no one else did. He always inspired and encouraged his students to do their very best and that they could do anything they set their hair to. I also was friends with his sons Curtis and Kyle and his nephew Dave, My condolences go out to them as well, I cannot even begin to imagine the loss they feel. I can truly say I have become a better man because of Kelly Dumont. I didn't get to ever tell him that I am now doing better at life and that I have a kid and a great job i'm sure he would have been impressed to talk to me after all these years. May the lord welcome you into his kingdom and rest in peace friend. ~ Robert

I am so sorry to hear about Kelly's passing. His warm spirit and caring heart will always be something that I remember. I worked with Kelly at Balfour and we spent many lunchtimes eating together and chatting in the staff room. He was always so excited to share the amazing art his students would make in welding class and proudly showed me the impressive photos on his phone. He was always keen to learn new things and participated on our school tech committee. He was a very progressive teacher and attempted to use new technologies in his mechanics and welding classes. He was truly a wonderful man and will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to Kelly's family during this very difficult time. ~ Trudy

Mr. DuMont you were and inspiration too me. You were a teacher, a coach, and a mentor in my life. You took an angry kid and turned him into a person, an adult that was looked up too. I've now served 10 years in the Canadian Forces and for reasons I can not explain I feel you helped me make the right life decisions that made me the man I am today. I want to thank you for everything that you taught me on the matt and in the classroom and about life. You will truly be missed.
