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.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the USA LaCrosse Foundation.

Dear Catherine, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember fondly working with you and David on plays at Trinity Cathedral years ago. David was such a wonderful and faithful Christian man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless, Allison Fowler

Dear Catherine and David, I was so shocked to hear of David’s death. Betsy called me and I couldn’t respond, I was so stunned. The three of you have been sealed in my heart since I met you at The Key Hole many years ago. The three of you, individually, made just an impression on me; all for different reasons ! It seems that I shared something with each of you for different and endearing reasons. I am sorry I can’t be with you today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and our many friends who are there with you. I will look forward to seeing you soon! Love and prayers to the two of you. Love, Dear Dot

We are so sorry about the sudden loss of David. He was such a warm and fun person to be around. May God embrace Catherine and his family during this difficult time. Angie Tronco and Mike Kirk

I’m so very sorry to hear about David. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this very difficult time. I pray our Heavenly Fathers wraps his arms around all of you. He was such a great person, and had the best laugh!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

It was a pleasure getting to know Big David more these past 3 or so years. He always had interesting things to say and truly cared for his people. I had the pleasure of playing night golf with Big David, my father and my brother last April in Myrtle beach. We had the best time and relied on David for some putts and motivation. Before the round event even started David had the team behind us laughing hysterically while we were being sent out to play. He didn’t let you get away with having a bad or mediocre time; Only a good time was acceptable. I will always respect and admire the way he grabbed life by the horns.

David, We are so very sorry. What a wonderful man. May the Lord comfort you and your family until you see him again. We send our deepest condolences. You will remain in our prayers, David & Karen Dunaway (Logan & McKay's parents) Isle of Palms, SC

I am still in shock over very sad news! Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers! I am so so sad! Sending Love and Peace! Nena Powell Rice

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
