Earnest Tipping

Earnest "Earnie" Doyle Tipping went home to his heavenly Father on April 16, 2026, at age 71. He was born November 10, 1954, in Jacksonville, Texas to Doyle Everett and Betty Jo Tipping.

Earnest was a deeply spiritual man who shared God's Love with everyone he came in contact with. He knew no strangers. He truly was an inspiration to all who knew him and was admired by many. The impact that he had on others will be felt for many years. If he wasn't sharing his love of God, or teaching Bible Study you could find him working in his garden, wood working or working out in his gym.

Earnest was an example of a man driven by his purpose and faith in God. He may have looked intimidating on the outside, but his heart was of gold. He always had time to answer any questions about the Bible.

Earnest's Legacy will live on forever through the many stories he shared and memories of those who had the opportunity to get to know him. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, brother, grandpa, friend and trusted servant to our Lord.

Earnest is survived by his wife Vivian Tipping, Children - Christy McDonald, James Tipping, Jacob Tipping, Christin Lusk Armstrong, Grandchildren - Elizabeth, Evelyn, Kinsley, Karleigh, Grayson, Maverick, and Natalie, Siblings - Debbie Phillips, Janice Seydel, Coy Tipping and several nieces, nephews and Friends.
