Zoe Dupasquier

Zoe Ann Dupasquier was welcomed by God to her heavenly home on September 23, 2026, at the age of 10. A visitation honoring her life took place on Monday, October 5, 2026, from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, with a memorial service at 1:00 PM. Services were held at ZOE Church in Burnsville, with Pastor Greg Linz presiding. A recording of the service will be available at the following link: Zoe Dupasquier Celebration of Life.

Zoe was born to Michael and Kelly Dupasquier on August 24th, 2016. A quiet and happy baby, people quickly called her an old soul as her personality grew. She and her older brother Jacob were only one grade apart, making them fast friends and best buddies their whole childhood. She adored animals, cheerleading, and helping people – she was kind and loving, yet spicy when she needed to be strong. That strength carried her through a cancer diagnosis at age seven in 2024 – a battle she faced with grace and resilience beyond her years.

Zoe's cancer – an ultra-rare form called Rhabdomyosarcoma Spindle Cell with FUS::TFCP2 fusion – is so uncommon that medicine is still learning from it. Because of Zoe, and the tireless dedication of her care teams across Minnesota, real progress has been made towards treating and understanding this disease. We believe Zoe will continue to teach us for a very, very long time.

To everyone who knew Zoe, who followed her story, or who simply heard of her fight – we hope you'll carry a piece of her forward. Be kind. Cheer loudly. Help someone who needs it. And every once in a while, stay a little spicy.

In lieu of flowers, Zoe's family encourages memorials to be directed to:
