Austinville - Jack Kipple, 92, passed away on Monday, May 15, 2023, at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home. He was born on March 15, 1931, in Los Angeles County, CA to the late Jack Knipple and Dorothy Samarin Knipple. Jack was a devout member of the Kernersville Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Out of all his accomplishments, his family was the most important to him, especially his grandchildren who meant everything to him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 61 years, Bonnie Banks Kipple and one son, Eddie Kipple.

Left to cherish his memory are his three sons, Jack Stephen “Steve” Kipple of Wallburg, James Kipple (Robin) of Pinnacle, and David Kipple of Hillsville, VA; five grandchildren, Olivia, Eddie, Donnie, Samarin, and Vann; and one brother, Richard Knipple of Asheville.
