Upson Company In Memoriam
Steven Upson
It is with great Sadness that our original founder of Upson Company, Mr. Steven Upson passed away June 23, 2023, at home with his Family.
Steve Upson founded Upson Company in 1975 with a dream of providing quality roofing to the Treasure Valley. In 1978 it became a family dream when he brought in Jimmy and Randy Upson to help grow his vision.
By 2001 he had been in business for 27 years and had completed over 5,000 projects. He had also implemented a registered Apprentice Program, as he preferred to promote from within. The success and growth of his employees was a top priority.
In 2018, Steve was finally ready to retire and spend time with his family enjoying all his many other hobbies, including Crafting Homemade Wines, and Golfing. He left his company in the very capable hands of Jason Webster and Justin Barker, who had the honor and privilege of working together with Steve as previous partners and owners for several years as he was able to transition into his full retirement in 2021.
Steve was a very strong minded and determined man that led with a strong emphasis on great customer service. He believed in taking care of his employees and their families. We have all benefited from his original vision of what he started almost 48yrs ago. He was proud of all our efforts that helped to make his vision become a reality.
Thank you, Steve, for giving all of us the opportunity to be part of the Upson Family. Your legacy will live on in every project we do. You changed an industry and will be dearly missed.
