James A. "Tip" Tipton

Tip was born to Don and Jo Tipton on July 9, 1964 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He graduated from East High School in 1982. He died at Davis Hospice after a brief illness with one of his best friends by his side.

Tip was a cowboy at heart and wanted to be a bull rider but his 6ft 7in frame wouldn’t let him. So he started driving semi’s which he could handle like a sports car. He covered millions of miles through the United States and Canada.

Tip is survived by his sister Donna (Mike) Moore of Alto, New Mexico. He is preceded in death by his parents, an infant brother Mark, and both sets of grandparents. Tip loved God, his family and friends, and his numerous dogs.

Special thanks go to the nursing staff at Davis Hospice who not only took great care of him but also made him laugh.
