Francois "Frank" Dupre

1940 - 2022

It is with a heavy heart we announce the death of Francois (Frank) Dupre on January 31, 2022, in Kamloops, BC.

Frank fought a difficult battle with cancer for a few years before it took him at 81 years of age. He was a good man. Kind and generous to a fault, and a heart full of good intentions. Frank was born in Montreal May 21, 1940, and grew up with five brothers and three sisters. Times were tough at that time with most families growing up poor.

After Frank made it through school he began working as a plumber at a large hospital in Montreal. There he met and fell in love with Louise, who became his wife. They had one child, Daniel.

Frank eventually became a Pipe Fitter - Steam Fitter. He then began wanting to travel towards western Canada to follow the work. To Ontario, then to Alberta, and then to BC, where he liked it so much in Kamloops, that it became the family's home in 1970. Frank was a longtime member of UA Local 170. He worked many industrial job plants/sites in BC and Alberta including Fort McMurray.

Frank enjoyed the outdoors and went fishing and camping and spending hours gardening. He was also very dedicated to his faith.

Frank is predeceased by his mother and father, three brothers, one sister, and his only grandson Justin. Frank was a good father, and will be sadly missed by his family, his friends and those who knew him.

A special thank you from the family goes out to ALL the Health Care workers involved in his care from Home Care nurses to the Cancer Clinic doctors, and to the Kamloops Hospice. Thank you for your service and care.

For those wishing, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society instead of flowers would be kind.
