He moved to Monticello, Ms. in 1969 where he built a life rooted in hard work, family, and the simple joys of the outdoors. He retired in 2005 from Georgia Pacific, where he worked as a millwright machinist. Known for his skill and dedication, he could fix or build just about anything, especially when it came to metal, welding and creating things with his hands was one of his greatest talents and passions.

From a young age, he loved hunting, trapping and fishing-interests that stayed with him throughout his life. In his later years he enjoyed spending time with his wife planting daylilies, teaching his grandkids everything he knew about hunting, and telling stories about the past, sharing memories and lessons with those around him.

Above all else he loved his lord Jesus Christ and his family more than anything. His presence, stories, and craftsmanship will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is proceeded in death by his father, Bennett W. Pippin of Ellisville; his mother, Georgia Lewis Pippin of Ellisville, MS; his wife, Linda Boutwell Pippin of Monticello, Ms. and daughter, Deanna Pippin Cole of Monticello, MS.

He is survived by his son, David Pippin and his wife Belinda Pippin of Columbus, MS; daughter, Donna and husband Mikell Sandifer of Monticello, MS; four grandkids, Jason Sandifer, Angela Brandon, Chris Pippin, and Amanda Sandifer; and eight great grand-children.
