Garland Dean Maupin Sr. was born on February 22, 1945, at Old Cheyenne Agency, SD, to Arthur and Eveline (Hodgkiss) Maupin. He grew up in the Old Agency and Promise areas. Garland attended Old Agency School, later enlisted in the U.S. Army, and was honorably discharged in December 1967.

On September 1, 1970, Garland married Jennifer Bordeaux in Pierre, SD. Six children were born to this union: Tracy, Darlyn Ann, Terri Rose, Tanna, Garland Jr., and baby Ted.

Garland began working in Sioux City, IA, before being transferred to Denver, CO. He later moved his family back to Eagle Butte, where he began working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, retiring after more than 30 years of service.

Garland was an outdoorsman who was well known for his love of hunting and fishing with his children, nephews, and grandchildren. He was truly a jack of all trades and loved spending time with his grandkids. Garland fought a long, hard battle with lung cancer, but eventually his body grew tired and could no longer keep up with his strong heart and spirit.

Garland is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer (Bordeaux) Maupin; daughters, Darlyn Ann and Terri Rose; sons, Garland Dean "Thumper" Jr. and baby Ted; grandchildren, Beau, Autumn, Tracie "TJ," Bailey, Taten, Chantel, Eveline, Aspyn, Briley, Hunter, and Teegan; 15 great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Suzanne Maupin, Connie Bordeaux, and Leeann Bordeaux; and brother-in-law, Mike O'Neal.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Eveline (Hodgkiss) Maupin; son, Tracy Dean Maupin; daughter, Tanna Maupin; grandson, Taten Maupin; great-grandsons, Oheyesa and Baby Maupin; three brothers, Charlie, Leonard, and Terry Maupin; and one sister, Carol Ann O'Neal.

Luce Funeral Home of Gettysburg has been entrusted with Garland's arrangements.
