Bryan Luncford Tippit, beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather and friend passed away December 19th, 2018. Born in Cleveland, Mississippi on July 2, 1953 the youngest of JT and Anne Segulia Tippit's three children. His family moved to Blythe in 1967 where he would call home for the next 51 years. During high school he worked along side his father at JT Tippit Company until his father's passing. Bryan's work ethic was unmatched. Over the years he used his skills and expertise all over the Palo Verde Valley and most recently at Fondomonte Arizona.

In 1979 he married his sweetheart Suzie Downes and was a devoted father to their three children. In 1982 he was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He loved relaxing on the river, taking the boat out, trail riding, camping, and spending time outdoors with his family. He was a gentle giant with a kind smile and never ending patience. His heart grew immensely and he found his true calling when he became a grandpa. Papa Bryan was often found teaching his grandkids to ride the mules, taking them fishing or playing with stuffed animals. He was full of love and laughter and fun and we will miss him forever.

He was preceded in death by his mother Anne, his father JT and his brother Ron.

He is survived by his beloved wife Suzie, his sister Debbie Tippit, his three children Robert Dion Tippit (Melissa), Amber Suzanne Zora, Autumn Bryanne Leavitt (Jeffrey) and his thirteen grandchildren Amador, Brianna, Harper, Weston, Cash, Sterling, Vincent, Glory, Leah, Davis, Grayson, Whitney and Zane.
