Garland Dean Maupin Sr. was born on February 22, 1945, at the Old Cheyenne Agency, to Arthur and Eveline (Hodgkiss) Maupin. He grew up in the Old Agency and Promise areas. Garland attended Old Agency School, later enlisted in the U.S. Army, and was honorably discharged in December 1967.
On September 1, 1970, Garland married Jennifer Bordeaux in Pierre. Six children were born to this union.
Garland began working in Sioux City, IA, before being transferred to Denver, CO. He later moved his family back to Eagle Butte, where he worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, retiring after more than 30 years of service.
Garland was an outdoorsman who was well known for his love of hunting and fishing with his children, nephews, and grandchildren. He was a jack of all trades and loved spending time with his grandkids. Garland fought a long, hard battle with lung cancer, but eventually his body grew tired and could no longer keep up with his strong heart and spirit.
Garland is survived by his wife, Jennifer (Bordeaux) Maupin; daughters Darlyn Ann and Terri Rose; sons Garland Dean “Thumper” Jr. and baby Ted; grandchildren Beau, Autumn, Tracie “TJ,” Bailey, Taten, Chantel, Eveline, Aspyn, Briley, Hunter, and Teegan; 15 greatgrandchildren; sisters-in-law Suzanne Maupin, Connie Bordeaux, and Leeann Bordeaux; and brother-inlaw, Mike O’Neal.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son Tracy Dean Maupin; daughter Tanna Maupin; grandson Taten Maupin; great-grandsons Oheyesa and Baby Maupin; brothers Charlie, Leonard, and Terry Maupin; and sister Carol Ann O’Neal.
