Brandon DeWayne Dumas

On Monday, April 27th, 2026, Brandon DeWayne Dumas, age 53, loving husband and daddy of 2, went to be with his Heavenly Father.

Brandon was born on May 12th, 1972 in Amarillo, Texas to Sonja Ray (Tucker) and Connie Carl Dumas. Brandon grew up in Amarillo, Texas and did his schooling at Avondale Elementary, Sam Houston Middle, and graduated from Tascosa High School in 1990. High school is where he met his beautiful wife, Brenda Dumas.

Brandon decided to join the Navy in 1990 right out of school and served for 5 years, moving to the national guard in 1994. On July 15th, 1991, he married the love of his life, Brenda Kay Dumas. Together they built a life full of love and laughter. They worked hard and raised their children Brennen and Kelsie.

Brandon had a passion for God, music, family, creating and building. Using his college degree in Interior Design, he had a long and impactful career in building homes. Starting in Tahlequah, Oklahoma in 1997 and moving to Amarillo, Texas in 2000, he designed and created homes for 20 years. In 2010, he was one of only two certified green builders in Amarillo at the time, constructing the city's first certified energy-efficient home. His dedication to his craft and his community led to him serving as President of the Texas Panhandle Builders Association in 2016. He retired due to uncontrollable circumstances, but the passion never went away — he was always thinking of new designs until his very last day.

Brandon used music and his love for God to help connect people to the Word. Even in the dark days, he always kept his faith. His family was his pride and joy. It was small and close-knit, but filled with so much love.

Brandon was preceded in death by his brother Blaine Harrison, his father Connie Carl Dumas, maternal grandparents Jackie and Ray Tucker, and paternal grandmother Wanda Dumas.

He is survived by his mom Sonja Ray Dumas; uncle Shannon Dale Tucker; his wife Brenda Kay Dumas; two children, Brennen and Victoria Dumas, and Kelsie and Jesse Mullins; 6 grandchildren; nieces; nephews; his lifelong friend and brother in all but name, Mark Duffy and his wife Melissa; brother Carl Wade Dumas; sister Carrie Munsell and many close friends.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 AM, Friday, May 1st, 2026 at Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel, with Cameron Reeves officiating. Following the service, a brief time of viewing will be available for family and friends to pay their final respects before Brandon is laid to rest. Graveside services and burial will follow at Llano Cemetery. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors, 2800 Paramount Blvd, Amarillo, Tx.
