Obituary

Shawn Michael Kapor, of Bridger, Montana, passed away peacefully at home on January 17, 2024, in Billings, Montana, at the age of 62. Shawn was born November 14, 1961, in Billings, Montana, to Ronald and Donna Kapor (Kidwell). He was raised in Bridger, Montana with his two brothers Darren and Chris Kapor. He graduated from Bridger High School, participated in band, and was a track star holding a record to this day for the 400-yard relay.


Shawn had many interests ranging from Star Trek to The Green Bay Packers to The Beatles (those being his favorite). Shawn had many friends and was always up for a good game of poker or pinochle. Some of his favorite things to do during the summer were to go camping at the local campgrounds, rafting the Clark's Fork River, and driving the Beartooth Mountain Pass.


Shawn had many talents and worked in many different occupations. He helped his dad build up the local Kapor Lumber business into what it is today, then went on to find his own way. He started many different endeavors with his most recent being his car rental business which was starting to be successful.


Shawn married Marcia Kapor in 1983. Out of this union were born Bryan Scott and Trystin Nichelle Kapor. They later divorced and Shawn went on to have a daughter, Emily Paige Synoground with his partner Victoria Synoground, and Stephanie Kay Davidson with his partner Angie Davidson. His kids loved spending time with their dad and especially looked forward to the camping and rafting trips.


Shawn is survived by his children, Bryan Kapor, Trystin (Tom) Alsteen, Emily Synoground, and Stephanie Davidson, his father Ron Kapor, his brothers Darren Kapor and Christopher Kapor, grandchildren Adrian Alsteen and Alayna Kapor, and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.


Shawn is preceded in death by his mother, Donna Gail Kapor (Kidwell), grandparents Mike and Sigrid Kapor and Don and Vernell Kidwell, as well as his aunt Penny Kidwell (Parker).


“Mr. Scott beam me up”, we are heading to the “second star to the right and straight on until morning.”


No service will be held at this time; a Springtime service is pending as of now.

Fond memories of Shawn over the years. As we grew older or paths grew farther apart but he was always a part of my memories. Good times at the swimming pool, Good times at school and during band trips. And a very fond memory of Shawn, Ernie and Scott doing their best Kiss impersonation at a school dance. Sorry for your loss.

Ron, Darren, Chris, A piece of my heart broke when I heard about Shawn. I could rattle off a zillion memories -- some that are better left unmentioned! I can still hear Molly Hatchet and AC/DC belting from the basement of the Kapor house. I was always grateful to call Shawn my friend. It has been far too long since I saw him in person. Life pulls us apart and away. My best memory of Shawn, without a doubt, is when he told my mom and me that he named his son after my brother. Bryan Scott, although I haven't seen him since he was a child, is always in my thoughts. Take care, all of you who knew and loved Shawn, as I did. Shelley Ridenour
