Nov. 13, 1940 – Jan. 22, 2017

Paul A. Dupin, 76, passed away on Jan. 22, 2017. 

Words cannot express what he meant to us and how he impacted each of our lives! Coach Dupin was a remarkable man who made a difference in the lives of everyone he knew and taught us to be the best we can be.

He was born Nov. 13, 1940, in Price, to Olga (Moynier) and Anton (Tony) Dupin. His mother died when he was 4, and he was raised by his step-mother Donna (Hanks) Dupin. 

He graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1959. He lettered each year in football, basketball and baseball, and was named the “All Around Athlete” in 1958 and 1959.

He married Charlene Marinoni, Aug. 8, 1964 at Notre Dame Catholic Church.

After graduating from Utah State University, he moved to Price to begin teaching. He taught at Price Junior High School for three years and taught 35 years at Mont Harmon Junior High. He was respected by students, parents and teachers alike in the Carbon School District. For all of us romper room rejects – our dad really cared about you!

He coached basketball for 35 years, football for 25 years and track for 38 years. He led his Pirates to 61 league and tournament championships and helped his teams win 355 games.

He enjoyed his daily cups of coffee with his buddies. They solved many problems and built lasting friendships over a cup of coffee.

Paul Dupin’s contribution to the world cannot be summed up with one major event; rather, he has touched countless individuals who have gone on to make the world a better place.

He is survived by his wife, Charlene, Price; daughters, Paula (Paul) Dupin-Zahn, Kaysville; Pamela (Shane) Dupin-Bryant, Stansbury Park; grandchildren Patrick Paul Zahn, Samantha Dupin Bryant, Phillip Charles Zahn, and Zane Dupin Bryant; sister-in-law, Judy Cobb, Las Vegas; and many friends and past students whom he loved dearly. 

He was preceded in death by his parents and in-laws John and Anna Marinoni.

A funeral Mass was held Jan. 28 at Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to the Dupin Memorial Fund at EUCCU. We would like to thank Pinnacle Nursing Facility and Symbii, for their loving care of Paul.
