Brian Kalupa

Brian James Kalupa, age 48, born April 22, 1977, found eternal peace on February 16, 2026.

Brian was the loving son of James and Cheryl Kalupa and a beloved brother to Jonathan Kalupa. He is further survived by aunts, uncles, cousins and many loving friends.

A proud graduate of New Berlin West High School in 1995, Brian was a member of the football and basketball teams during his school years. His passion for sports extended beyond high school as he became an accomplished bowler. Brian enjoyed league play and took great pride in competing at state championship tournaments alongside his bowling friends.

Brian dedicated over two decades of service to Wal-Mart, where he was admired for his strong work ethic and reliability. During his time there, he built lasting friendships that reflected his kind-hearted and loyal nature.

Outside of work and sports, Brian found joy in his frequent trips to Florida. These trips were filled with fishing, relaxation, and the creation of treasured memories. His love for family, friends, sports, and travel defined a life rich with meaningful moments.

Throughout his journey, Brian demonstrated remarkable courage and unwavering hope. He will be remembered for the genuine joy he brought to those around him and the deep connections he formed with others. His kind heart and loyalty left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Brian’s memory will live on in the hearts of his family—his father James Kalupa, mother Cheryl Kalupa, and brother Jonathan Kalupa—as well as all who had the privilege of knowing him. May his legacy bring comfort to those who mourn his loss.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the Froedtert Oncology Team and the Froedtert 8th floor CFAC team for their kind and compassionate care.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Friday February 27, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM until time of mass at 12:00 PM at St. John the Evangelist Church located at 8500 W Cold Spring Rd., Greenfield, Wisconsin.

A private family interment and a celebration of Brian's life to follow at a later date.
