Kip and my son were good friends, and they hung out quite a lot together when they were younger. I always very much enjoyed when Kip and Anthony were hanging out and doing things together. Kip was always so polite and nice, and at the same time quick with some good-natured wit. I am very saddened to hear the news about Kip. My prayers and thoughts, as well as those of our entire family, are with Kip and his family and friends. God Bless.
I wish I had seen more of you over the last few years. We’ll all miss you, Kip.
I am deeply saddened by the news of Kip’s passing. He grew up with my son and my son’s other neighborhood friends. He was a polite young man and a good friend to my son. I have received calls from some of the other neighborhood, high school friends of Kip expressing their utmost sadness as well. He was a loved young man. May he rest in peace with his mother.
Sorry to hear the sad news. Kip was friends with my son during middle school and high school. Prayers for the family during this difficult time.
Kyle,
Please accept my thought, prayers, and sympathy for the loss of your brother. The loss of a sibling can be a heartbreaking time. Let us know at the WFFD if you need anything.
Our prayers are with you all and for Kip. My son hung out with Kip and he was telling us stories or all the fun things and activities they would do. We laughed and laughed. Kip will be missed by all. God bless and draw strength in Gods Love for Kip and your family.
Bob, Kyle and family,
We are so deeply saddened by Kip’s passing. You are all in our hearts and prayers.
My very deepest condolences to the family and friends of Kip. I was so moved by this thoughtful obituary that I felt compelled to send you a message. While I did not know Kip, I’m feeling sad that this beautiful young man is no longer with you. His love of music, art (movies), and animals puts him in a category that others can only hope to achieve. It sounds like he was truly special in his commitment to others. He certainly had much more to offer humankind with his love and humor. Throughout my life I have encountered people who seem to fit the description of Kip. They have brought me such joy because of their unique personalities. I wish I had known Kip. Sending you hugs in this time of loss. Peace.
My heart goes out to Kips family. While I did not know them well, I did get to know Kip quite well in middle school and high school. We played in band together, ate lots of Taco Bell together and shared many laughs with friends at the lunch table. I remember him as a relatively quiet, funny person who was always great to have as a friend. I will miss him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you in this time that is just so difficult to grasp. My son, Forest Elstrom, and Kip were buddies when they were little. Growing up at Dee Dee’s Daycare and spending time at each other’s houses playing in the sandbox, going to Chuckee Cheese etc. are some great memories. May God hold you as you work through this time. Know that Kip is in our Father’s arms now – safe, sound and at peace. No more struggles. Love you.
