Nov. 30, 1941 – Sept. 5, 2025
Paul Dupuis passed away on Sept. 5, 2025, at the age of 83 years. His passing brings the peace, comfort and dignity that he had been seeking.
Paul is survived by: his loving wife of 61 years, Linda; and their children Paul Junior (Norma), Doug (Mandy), and Tara (Sean); and grandchildren Jasmine, Kaden and Lyka.
Born in McLennan on Nov. 30, 1941, Paul always had a twinkle in his eye and a thirst for adventure. Paul and Linda met through their respective best friends, Gene and Pat Jones, married a month later and started their family soon after. Linda gave Paul steadiness and care, grounding their many years together.
Paul spent decades as a heavy-duty mechanic, working out of the shop he built in the yard a few steps away from their home. He provided a reliable service to the High Prairie area – often driving to the city at night to pick up parts and working all weekend to get the trucks ready for work on Monday. His shop was also a local meeting place, where the coffee was always hot and conversation free flowing. Linda minded the shop’s books and the kids, and Paul was always close by.
Paul’s work ethic left a lasting impression, and his sons continue his legacy as trusted heavy-duty mechanics in this area. His daughter channeled his work ethic and independence toward becoming a chartered accountant and now enjoys working in human resources.
When he put his mind to something, Paul did it. He liked to keep busy and was always up for a drive or go fishing. We had many long drives including down to Iowa to see Linda’s family, and countless weekends to Grande Cache to see the Joneses. After breaking his back in 1994, Paul had to slow down a bit. In his final years he loved to collect firewood, blow snow and mow grass. We marveled at how the lawn got bigger every year.
He will be lovingly remembered! Rest in peace honey/dad/ grandpa.
A funeral service will not be held as per Paul’s wishes.
