Robert “Bob” D. Kipp, 58, of Mansfield, Ohio, entered eternal rest, unexpectedly, on Tuesday, January 24, 2023.
He was born on December 23, 1964, to Robert Kipp and Deanna Livingston in Willard, Ohio. Robert attended Defiance College where he played football and was an All-American wrestler. In 1989 he joined the U.S. Army, where he performed as a watercraft operator in the 1098th Transportation Unit “SeaDogs” during the Gulf War and Operation Restore Hope; in service to his country for over four years.
Robert is survived by his ex-wife and mother of his sons and daughter and their families, including two grandsons and four granddaughters; his mother, father, brother, sister, and many others.
He was preceded in death by his stepfather and one brother.
Robert had an infectious laugh and was fiercely loyal to those he loved; may he rest easy in peace and love and shine down on all of us.
