On Friday, Dec 2, 2022, Richard Manuel Tipton, son, brother, uncle, nephew, and cousin passed away at age 53.
Rick was born 10/10/1969 in Oklahoma City, the second son to Clay and Suzi Tipton.
Rick was very artistic! He loved playing music with his friends and his brother. He could fix anything and enjoyed helping. His mind was always working, thinking of new ways to make things better. He loved growing flowers and knew the names of many plants just by looking at them. He was known for his quick wit, his loving nature, for making up words, and his fun-loving spirit. Rick was always an attentive listener and was always looking for ways to help.
Rick was preceded in death by his dad, Clay, and loving grandparents Dot and Manny Gaspar and Marland and Naomi Tipton. He is survived by his devoted mom, Suzi and step dad Butch Guy, his brother Randy and wife Julie and their son Gavin, his sister Renessa Williams and husband Darren and their son Logan. Also his two step-brothers Corky Guy, wife Cheryl and their son Collin, and Kevin Guy, wife Candace and their children Katelyn, Carter, Bryce, Austin, and Kendall. And of course, all his pets that he loved.
He will be missed so very much by his family and many friends that were like family to him.
