Jeff Rupp, a popular 58-year-old social studies teacher at Fullerton Union High School, has died of injuries he sustained after his motorcycle collided with a car last month.
According to a police report, Rupp was riding his motorcycle north on Euclid Avenue when the driver of a Hyundai sedan traveling south turned in front of him. Rupp sustained head injuries and a number of broken bones and was hospitalized for three weeks before succumbing to his injuries. There have been no charges filed yet in the accident.
Both current and former student of Rupp’s created a memorial in front of the high school in his honor, remembering him as “an inspirational teacher and an inspirational human being.” Candles, notes and mementos were left in front of the school and in Rupp’s classroom, and the school observed a moment of silence in Rupp’s honor.
