Kupiec, Jimmy Dale age 76 passed away March 1, 2026. Retired Fleet Driver.  His health had been declining for several years. He spent the first ten days of February in the hospital before being transferred to a skilled nursing facility.
If you knew Jimmy, you knew he was happiest riding his motorcycle, spending time at the lake, or playing music. He was also an incredible artist and could work magic on a pool table. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to enjoy those things for quite some time. He knew his health wasn't going to improve.
Karla and I made sure to visit him every day while he was — as he liked to say — "incarcerated." Not being able to go home was very hard for him. He made me promise that there would be no funeral service, and we will honor that wish.
Instead, please remember Jimmy during his good days. He never liked it when I tricked him into going somewhere, but once we got there, he usually ended up loving it. I think Graceland might have been his favorite place of all.
