Daniel Lee Pupava, of Elsie,

passed away unexpectedly after a motorcycle accident, at the age of 31.

Danny was born on August 25, 1994, in Saginaw, Michigan, to Robert Pupava and Tina (Gaudette) Pupava. He attended Ashley High School until the 11th grade. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, and was a dedicated caretaker of his Grandmother. You could almost always find him getting into trouble, hanging out at a bonfire, fixing up bikes and cars.

Danny is survived by his parents, Robert Pupava and Tina Pupava; siblings, Robert "RJ" Gaudette, Laura (Cody) Bartels, Olivia Gaudette - Patterson, and Sylvia Pupava; niece and nephew, Natylie and Maxtyn Bartels; and his grandmother, Vicky Pupava. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Addison Adeline Pupava, and grandfather, Daniel Pupava.

Memorial services will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at 2:00pm at the Racy Methodist Church in Elsie.
