KAUPP, Gordon

GORDON HOWARD KAUPP 1957 ~ 2025 With heavy hearts we write to advise you that Gordon Kaupp passed away on May 14, 2025, with family at his bedside at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital. Gordon was born October 28, 1957. He would say that he was a 57 Chevy.
Gordon loved his life. He had many happy moments growing up on the family farm a mile west of New Dayton, Alberta. Gordon played sports with his brothers, including hockey and baseball as well as other pursuits such as curling. We were farmers and athletes.
Gordon loved his parents, Howard and Frankie, and attended many family get-togethers and parties in the beautiful yard at the farm. Gordon learned much from his farm life, including mechanics, the love of fast cars, and his fondness for beer.
In April of 1978, Gordon married the love of his life, Pam Frache. They were married for 47 years and had three children: Kim, Curtis and Tyler. Gordon was very proud of his children and four grandchildren: Bailey, Reece, Ally and Aria. Gordon and Pam and the kids loved country music. It was like oxygen to them. The family attended many concerts in the U.S. and Canada. There were happy nights dancing together with the kids to a country tune. Gordon also owned a boat with his brother, and there were many fine memories fishing and water skiing.
Gordon enjoyed watching sports including hockey, football and baseball. He won many curling bonspiels with his brother Bill, Farley Kuehn and Bill Paulson. As a young man, Gordon attended SAIT in Calgary to study heavy duty mechanics. He also did plumbing and got a certificate in refrigeration. Gordon worked at the County of Warner for over 30 years and retired with a good pension. He started a baseball pool many years ago with Carson Mueller and won the pool a few times.
Gordon had his faults, as do we all, but he never thought he was better than anyone. Gordon made friends easily and will be greatly missed. Gordon Kaupp was 67.
