In Memory Of
Dr. James "Jamie" Rupp
1962 - 2017
While at KU, Jamie met Sandy. Jamie’s father, a patient at the time, thought his nurse would make a good wife for his son and acting as matchmaker, encouraged their meeting. The rest is history and how right he was. Jamie and Sandy were married on October 31, 1992 in Salina, Kansas. From this marriage two sons, Alexander James and Thomas Scott, were born.
Upon completing his medical education, Jamie, Sandy, Alex, and Tom moved to Casper, Wyoming where he remained the rest of his life. Jamie practiced medicine for the next 22 years, including a private practice, Wyoming Kidney Center and the Veteran's Administration Clinic. At the time of his death he was a physician at Memorial Hospital of Converse County.
Jamie's colleagues considered him to be a brilliant and compassionate physician. He was beloved by nurses and hospital staff as well as his many patients over the years.
Jamie loved watching his sons play hockey, climbing mountains, bicycling with Sandy, fine wine and an occasional vodka martini with a lemon twist. Jamie loved traveling the world and spending time at the cabin. Most of all, he loved his family deeply and his many friends. He was a devoted husband, father, brother and son.
He is survived by his wife, Sandy, sons Alex and Tom Rupp, his mother, Mary Rupp, all of Casper; sister, Jody Boeding (Tom) of Kansas City, Kansas; in-laws Frank and Linda Taggart; brother-in-law Scott (Toni) Taggart all of Salina, Kansas; sister-in-law, Sheila Wexler (Randy) of Lenexa, Kansas and many nephews and nieces, aunts and uncles.
One cannot put into words the love Jamie shared with his family and friends. As one of his friends said, "he was a good soul".
