Keith Tripp Obituary
Keith Donald Tripp, 37, passed away on August 18, 2015. He was born on July 22, 1978, in Lansing, MI, to Donald F. Tripp and Cynthia M. Tripp. He served as the dedicated Building Manager at the Capitol Commons Center and the MSHDA building in Lansing, MI.
A man of integrity with a generous spirit and quick wit, Keith lived a simple and unassuming life. Keith would want you to know he enjoyed honest friendships and what few hardships he endured were meager at best. He sought out the knowledge of Science and was gifted with a mind which could comprehend the interconnectivity of it all. A quote from Keith himself, "I am the sum of a unique nature and nurture."
Keith is lovingly remembered by his father Donald Tripp (Autumn), mother Cynthia Tripp, sisters Valerie and Molly Tripp, his special nephew and niece Austin Tripp and Lily Ann Tripp, and grandmothers Mary Jane Tripp and Jaxine VanMale. He is also survived by many uncles, aunts and cousins, too numerous to list. Also, a special mention to his friends Joshua, Joel, Aaron and Alex whose friendships he cherished.
Condolences and memories will be shared with family and friends at Tripper's Sports Bar, 350 Frandor Ave., Lansing, MI, on Sunday, August 23, 2015, from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Online condolences may be left for Keith's family at www.EstesLeadley.com.

Keith your heart was so kind, and you were full of life. You were very intelligent, and your facts were always right on. Your compassion regarding your video games on the phone was fascinating, your zombie dreams I'll never forger. I am going to miss being greeted by you each morning drinking your skim milk and eating your chocolate donut., or the occasional piece of deli pizza. Our souls are weak as this was a shock to us all, we are gonna miss you our building will never be the same. No one will ever replace you as you were a one of a kind until we meet again....
