In Loving Memory of Kelly Shawn Gipson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Kelly, a devoted family man, husband, father, poppy, brother, mentor, and friend to many as well as a skilled specialist of heavy machinery. Kelly Gipson departed from this world on February 6th, 2024, leaving a legacy of love, hard work, and a permanent mark on those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Born on January 9, 1957, he was raised with a strong sense of family values that would become the cornerstone of his life. His unwavering commitment to his loved ones was evident in every facet of his existence.

In addition to his proficiency in heavy machinery, Kelly had an innate ability to create, inspire, and uplift those around him. His kind, loving attitude, his strong work ethic, and willingness to lend a helping hand were qualities that defined him.
