Nicholas Steve Kupcow, 54

Nicholas Steve Kupcow, 54, of Greenacres, Wash., passed away on May 23, 2014.  

Nick was born July 12, 1959, in Sydney, Australia, to Stefan and Tania Kupcow. He was an extremely generous man who absolutely adored and lived for his family. 

Nick had his own, unique way of showing how he felt, but you always knew it was genuine and came from his heart. Once someone met him, they had a friend for life since Nick never met a stranger. His personality was one that lit up the room where his presence could be felt immediately in any setting through his thundering voice, with a laugh or song, and everything in between. Everyone was drawn to him, and he truly enjoyed making people feel good and putting a smile on their face.  

Nick was preceded in death by his father, Stefan, and his ex-wife, Deb. 

Nick’s legacy and memory will live on through his beloved family: Wife, Tamara; son, Nicholas; daughter, Nicole and husband Nick; son, Sean, and fiancée Janie; mother, Tania; brother, Tony, and sister, Irene; precious granddaughters, Abigail and Penelope; and his nieces and nephews.  

Memorial service will be at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 29; and funeral service will be at 10 a.m., Friday, May 30. Both services will be held at St. Johns Baptist Orthodox Church, 4718 E. Horsehaven Ave., Post Falls, Idaho, 83854. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions in honor of Nick Kupcow to St. Johns Baptist Church at the above address.
