Steven James Dupuis

Steven James Dupuis, age 58, of St. Johns, passed away on April 13, 2024 after a courageous battle with lung cancer.
Steven was born December 16, 1965, to Russell and Carolyn Dupuis in Jennings, Louisianna. He graduated from Jennings High School in 1984 and moved to Orlando, Florida where he met his first wife, Cindy and they had their daughter, Heather. Shortly after her birth they moved to St. Johns, Michigan where Steven made his home to remain present in his daughter's life. On July 21, 2001, he married Lori Slamka together they had 2 children, Kaitlyn and Anthony Dupuis.
Steven worked for Beck's Propane for many years in the late 80's to 2000 where he made many friends thru his work and socializing at Beck's Farm Market. He then worked for Martin Brower as a driver and made lasting friendships until the date of his death. Steven loved golfing, camping, gambling, playing cards and was a master griller, smoker, and all-around fabulous cook! He loved to cook his southern dishes and favorite Cajun cuisines to share with all. But mostly he loved people. He could be found making the rounds to talk to everyone wherever he went. He never missed a sporting event and could be heard by all in the stands. He was a dedicated husband, father, and papa. He was so proud to teach his granddaughters, Carly, and Tessa to swim and each summer looked forward to spending time with them in his pool. We will miss his sense of humor, bluntness, lack of filter and sarcasm. A "grown ass man", with the best smile and dimples!
