Obituary

EVANSVILLE - Kendell Roy Copus, age 37, passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022, at Mercy Hospital. He was born on Jan. 13, 1985, in Madison, the son of Steve and Monique (Pien) Copus.


Kendell attended Oregon High School.   He worked alongside his family doing millwork and roofing. Kendell enjoyed working with his hands and was a talented man who could refurbish homes, vehicles, etc.


Kendell was larger than life and he loved doing any and all things, especially those things that would cause an adrenalin rush, such as skydiving and pushing the limits with fast vehicles.  He was an avid Packers fan, a hard worker who was always searching for the right love and always made time for his family. Kendell’s family was extremely important to him.  He truly loved being a dad and lovingly supported his daughters in everything that they did.


Kendell is survived by daughters, Hayden and Alexis and their mother, Kimberly Schulz and daughter, Scarlett and her mother, Alli Walz and Alli’s sons, Trayden and Carter; parents, Steve and Monique Copus; brother, Jimmie (Page) Copus; maternal grandmother, Marcella "Marcy" (Rich) Nelson; paternal grandfather, James "Jim" Copus (Donna); and many, many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Wendell "Butch" Pien; and paternal grandmother, Judy Copus.


A Celebration of Life will be held at GUNDERSON OREGON FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 1150 Park St., Oregon, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022, with a luncheon to follow.  Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 11 a.m. until the time of the service on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022.
 

Kendell gave his largest gift by being an organ donor. A special thank you to the Donor of Life foundation, the staff at Mercy Hospital, and the family, friends and our community for all the support and guidance.


To honor Kendell, we ask that you take a moment to tell people you care about, that you love them and your life wouldn’t be whole without them.  Forgive easily and take the time to do what makes your soul happy.

I am so sorry to read this news and my heart aches for all of you. I am remembering with so much fondness the sweet little boy I once knew. He is in good hands with his Grandma Judy and will always have a special little place in my heart. Wrapping you all in a lot of love as you navigate this painful loss and transition.
