“Forever Loved, Never Forgotten”
The Navy Gold Star Program is eternally grateful for the sacrifice of those Service Members who have died in service to our country. To help us to never forget, we have set up this tribute page to honor and remember the memory of those lives. If you would like to honor the memory of your Sailor, Soldier, Marine, Airman or Coast Guardsman through the Navy Gold Star website please submit your thoughts and a photo.
ADCS Samuel Dumond was raised in Edmundston, NB, Canada. He played hockey, baseball and enjoyed snowboarding. As a child, he always wanted to be a mechanic, so right after high school graduation, he left for Maine to join the Navy in 2006 and was posted in Virginia, California and Hawaii, changing platforms several times. Sam deployed multiple times with his last being the 2024 USS Theodore Roosevelt deployment. Serving his country was an honour for him. He was a thoughtful leader, who led by example. His friends described Sam as one of the most reliable “best friends” a person could ask for, who always had an infectious smile. Sam will forever be loved and remembered by his mother Francine and step father Bob, his father Greg (Lisa), his wife Beverly and his two children Liam and Bella, his brothers Matt, Alex and Andrew. RIP Sammy.
