So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

As the only surviving brother of the ten children of my grandparents Brad and Vera Tipton, Coy was the strong foundation for his sisters and for me. Uncle Coy was one of my inspirations for joining the Navy after sharing with me about his service in the Pacific. He along with great uncle Jim Bradley, a War World 1 Navy veteran, sealed my destiny!
Uncle Coy attended many family reunions and that in itself has been a fine example to us younger generations. Family is important whether near or far. Blessings to the Tipton, Bradley, Garrett families and any others I might have missed. Love YOU ALL!
So sorry to hear of his passing. I didn't know him but
I heard he was a good man and I know his sweet
Grand daughter Jamie and her sweet girls. Prayers for
the family during this difficult time. 🙏
Sorry we didn't make it to visitation or funeral, heat has put a toll on Phill but our thoughts and prayers were with you all. Uncle Coy will truly be missed but we have many memories of him, enjoyed his stories of Pearl Harbor. Our deepest sympathy to you all, for we will keep you all in our prayers.
Phill, Lisa, Phillip, Jamie and Marjorie Tipton
Rest in Peace and say hello to all the family members in Heaven.
Love Freddie Romine
Going to miss you Pawpaw. Thank you for everything while you were in my life. Thank you for the wonderful conversations & the times we spent together.
We mourn the loss of a great man. We are so glad that we knew him. I so remember the California Navy Reunion,your dad saw me looking at a Pearl Harbour exhibit and he took the time to explain it too me. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
