Elijah Wipf Obituary

Elijah B. Wipf, 32, of Sioux Falls, SD, passed away Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at his home in Sioux Falls, SD. Funeral services will be at 10:30 AM Saturday, March 15, at the Fulton Christian Fellowship in Fulton, SD. Burial will be at Rockport Colony Cemetery in Alexandria, SD. Visitation will be Friday, March 14, from 5-7:00 PM at Fulton Christian Fellowship. Elijah Wipf was born to Bennett and Kathryn Wipf on January 26, 1993, in Parkston, SD, the fifth of nine children. His father passed away when Elijah was ten years old. From a young age, Elijah was very adventurous and loved the outdoors. His favorite pastime was mud racing, where he truly enjoyed the competition, comradery, and was proud to be a member of the board. Elijah loved grilling and entertaining his family and friends with amazing food, jokes and was an avid storyteller. Left to cherish Elijah's memory is his mother, Kathryn; brothers, Moses, Abraham, and Jeremiah (special friend Elaine); and sister, Judith. Welcoming him home is his dad, Bennett; brothers, Phillip, Daniel, and Jeremy; sister, Rhoda; and both maternal and paternal grandparents.
