Arlin Joseph Kippes

Mr. Arlin Joseph Kippes, age 87, of Cumming passed away Monday, November 7, 2022 at his residence, surrounded by family.

Memorial Services will be at 10:30 A.M. Friday, November 11, 2022 at Prince of Peace Catholic Church with interment following at Memorial Park South Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 10:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. Friday, November 11, 2022 at Prince of Peace Catholic Church. Father Ignacio Morales will officiate.

Mr. Kippes was born August 31, 1935 to the late William & Lorraine Kippes in Topeka, Kansas. He was a retired special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation Department of Justice and a member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church.

Cruising and traveling with his wife, being involved with his two daughters as they grew up, and later playing with his grandsons as if he was a kid too, is what Kip was all about.  His sense of humor and ability to make people smile and laugh was a true gift from God. Kip had an incredibly creative mind, and found pleasure staying busy making toys for grandchildren, designing silly keepsakes for family & friends, and creating beautiful wood carvings.  He was truly a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, and friend; a very loyal, honest, and faithful man.

Mr. Kippes is survived by his wife, Nancy Kippes; daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Drew Loften; daughter and son-in-law, Sally and Dan Riley; grandchildren Alex Loften and wife Bre, Derek Loften and wife Abbey, and Max Nicholson; 3 brothers; 4 sisters; and numerous nieces and nephews.
