Allen Kaupp
1978 – 2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Allen James Kaupp announce his passing on Friday, October 16, 2020. Allen is survived by his wife, Roseanne and sons, Creston and Roane. Also grieving his loss are his parents, Joan and Jim Kaupp; siblings, Celeste (Doug) Murphy, Cameron (Crista Kolter) Kaupp, Kenton (Jackie Fry) Kaupp, Galen (Erin) Kaupp, Olivia (Steven) Blair; numerous nieces and nephews as well as many extended family members and friends. Allen was born in Fort McMurray and moved with his family to Medicine Hat at the age of three. After graduating from McCoy High School, he received training as an Emergency Medical Technician and worked in that capacity for a number of years in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. He then settled in Redcliff with Rosie and their young family. Allen also worked in the oil and gas industry and later on as a truck driver. In addition, he also served as a Volunteer Firefighter with the Redcliff and Box Springs Fire Departments. Allen and Rosie were fond of adventure and that included a love of travel. Some destinations were Southeast Asia, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Cuba, Eastern Europe, Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. Allen had a unique sense of humour which he loved to combine with his talent for writing. Everyone was soundly entertained with his stories of travel adventures and a highlight was when his siblings were being “roasted” at their wedding reception. He was an enthusiast of the outdoors and his favourite activities included family camping trips, fishing, and hunting. He was also quite creative with his barbeque and smoker. One of his latest quests was to continue to master his fly rod and to get his boys excited about fly fishing as well. Rest Peacefully, Allen, in Jesus’ comforting embrace. The Funeral Mass will be a private family celebration at Holy Family Parish with Fr. Rodel Abanto, celebrant with Allen’s uncle, Deacon Roger Reilander assisting. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial donations in Allen’s name may be made directly to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 204 – 1865 Dunmore Road S.E., Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 1Z8.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Allen Kaupp 1978 2020..

I’m heartbroken in hearing this news. I got to know Allen through physical therapy and also really enjoyed his warmth, truth, travel adventures and stories. We resonated in that way. I cannot believe what is happening and just want you to know that I care. Traumatic grief is so difficult. The sun will shine again one day. But these days are dark. My heart goes out to Allen and to all of you.
We at Big Country Drilling are very sad to hear of Allen’s loss. Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Prayers to the family.
