Brian Dupuis

Brian O. Dupuis, 51, of Chester, passed away tragically on September 30th, 2022, due to a workplace incident. He was born in Needham, MA and raised in Waltham, MA. Brian was a master mechanic until he moved to Virginia in 2004. Brian was a tradesman of all sorts including mechanic, welder, and machinist. Anything that involved working on machines big and small, Brian has done it all.  Brian’s wife and four children were the center of the universe to him. He loved his family deeply, profoundly, and infinitely. Brian had a tribe of friends that he held very close to his heart. Always by his side. Known as a dedicated man to everything he did and anyone he knew. You could call Brian and he would immediately come to your rescue.  Brian loved coin and knife collecting, walks on the beach to collect shells, history, cars, and cooking. His favorite place to go was Gettysburg where he and his wife explored the battlefields. He enjoyed quiet time with his family, traveling, and his cats.  Even in death, Brian was a selfless man. Through his bodily donations, Brian continues to help others after his passing. Brian joins in spirit his grandmother Gertrude Deforge, his aunt Alice Deforge, and his mother-in-law Marcia Cabral. Brian leaves on Earth (is survived by) his wife, Christine Dupuis; four children: Jessica Dupuis, Jillian Dupuis, Jacob Dupuis and Jeffrey Dupuis; son-in-law, Levi Taylor Dupuis; numerous bonus sons and daughters; and beloved pets that he considered family.  A funeral service will be held 11:00 a.m. Thursday, October 6, 2022, in the Colonial Heights Chapel of E. Alvin Small Funeral Homes and Crematory 2033 Boulevard Colonial Heights, Virginia 23834 with the Reverend Chris Jenkins officiating.  Interment will follow in Sunset Memorial Park Chester, Virginia.  The family will receive friends Wednesday, October 5, 2022, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
