Obituary of David Korpan

KORPAN, David Alexander October 24, 1946 – May 18, 2025 It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather (aka Pops) David at the age of 78 years old. Born to Fred and Anna Nancy Korpan, David, along with his sister Marie, grew up on a farm south of Lavoy. One of his earliest memories was riding on a stone boat while his dad was picking rocks on the farm. After high school, David decided to explore career options away from the farm, but soon realized that the farm was calling him home. David bought a farm near his parents, and David and his dad farmed together until Fred’s passing. Because farming is in his blood, David continued working full-time on the family farm until his son Ian took it over. Even in retirement, David would always share his farming wisdom. David is survived by his wife o f42 years, Wanda, and their children: Melissa; Ian (Kaylee) and their daughters Hazel and Emily; Andrea (Jeremy) and their sons Lucas and Corbin; and Lara (Evan). He is also remembered by his mother Anna Nancy and his sister Marie (George), along with numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father Fred. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, May 26, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Vegreville. Cremation has taken place, and a private inurnment will be held at the Lavoy Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to “Covenant Health Foundation ℅ St. Joseph’s General Hospital – Vegreville, AB.”
