Bryce Allen "Bubba" DePoy, 47, of Downs, Kansas, passed away on January 23, 2026, at Salina Regional Health Center.
Bryce was born on November 11, 1978, in Beloit, Kansas, to Wesley Charles DePoy and Deborah Ray (Turner) DePoy. He graduated from Downs High School in 1997 and later attended North Central Kansas Vo-Tech in Beloit, Kansas.
Bryce worked for John Wrench Construction for years even before continuing his career with Senger Construction. He took pride in his work from early morning pours to the tall buildings he built.
Bryce married his high school sweetheart, Crystal, on September 14, 2004. From this union, they were blessed with a son, Braydon DePoy, who was Bryce's pride and joy. Although the marriage later dissolved, Bryce and Crystal remained friends and devoted parents.
Bryce grew up in Cawker City, Kansas, surrounded by many cousins, friends, and family. He was the life of the family-the glue that held everyone together. He cherished his family above all else and loved being a dad to Braydon, his number one. Bryce and his son worked many long days together, a time that Braydon cherished and will always hold in his heart.
Bryce was known for his big bear hugs they are always the best and will be deeply missed. His laughter and smile was contagious but most of all his love for family. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, listening to music, and spending time at the lake. He was a devoted Denver Broncos and KU fan.
His orneriness, spunk, and loving character filled our lives with memories we will carry in our hearts forever.
He is survived by his son Braydon DePoy, sister Darcel (Joe) Nelson, Andrew (Megan) Nelson, Alec Nelson, brother Shawn (Holly) DePoy, Whitney DePoy, Alex DePoy, his Fiancé Kassi Day, host of Uncles, Aunts,Cousins and Crystal's Family.
