Marc Stephen Dupuis Obituary (2023)

Marc Stephen Dupuis passed away on April 5, 2023, surrounded by loved ones. He was born to Orphy and Freda Dupuis, on November 14, 1958. Marc was a larger than life character and a friend to all, known at any party for always being the first on the dance floor with his rockin dance moves (right on!). Nothing was more important to Marc than his family and friends, and he was the happiest while spending time with them. His son-in-law, Chris, said it well, that he ingrained so much in all of us, and we are better for it. He will always be with us because of this. From his funny sayings and nick names for everyone, to his stories (we may have heard more than once) and advice, we are all so lucky to have had him in our lives. He grew up and lived most of his life in Moxee with his "smokin hot wife" and best friend, Gina Dupuis. He always had a glass of wine poured for her after work and a listening ear ready to hear about the day, the latest news, and to laugh at her jokes whether they were funny or not. Together they raised four children, who as grownups also became his best friends. Marc loved hunting, fishing, going to the cabin with a good western book, playing the guitar, and listening to music. He looked forward to Hunting Camp and his annual fishing trip with his son-in-law and good-good friend, "Sniper Joe," but most of all just spending time at home with "his people" and family doodle, Talulah. Marc loved deeply and had so many good buddies that he shared many special moments with, and we will never forget his boisterous belly laugh. Us "chickee babies" thought we were extra hilarious, but really Marc just liked to laugh. Marc wasnt just a husband, father, son, uncle, and friend, but also a "Bumpa" to his three grandkids, who he adored and lovingly nicknamed Little A, Buck, and Gunner. He is survived by his mother, Freda Dupuis, wife, Gina Dupuis, children, Megan Kelsch, Ciera "YaYa" Ensign (Chris "Sniper Joe" Ensign), Jeryn "Bo" Gonzales (Kristen Simpson), Gracie Re Vaughan Dupuis (named after his favorite guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan), and his three grandkids, Addison, Colten, and Carter, sisters, Jan Norris of McMinnville, Oregon, Charlene Paxton of Tieton, Washington, Sharon Vasquez of Yakima, Washington, his brother, Jon Dupuis of Moxee, Washington, and many nieces and nephews that he loved. He is preceded in death by his father, Orphy Harvey Dupuis, who he loved to brag about, and his brother, Jim Dupuis. To those friends and family members that Marc could unquestionably always rely on, thank you for stepping up and going above and beyond with support over the last few months. His ashes will be spread by his loved ones at his most cherished places. In lieu of a memorial service, we will celebrate in true Marc fashion and have a party in June.
