Duane Joseph Lippe

December 27, 1949 — May 20, 2016

Duane Joseph Lippe December 27, 1949 – May 20, 2016 Joe left to be with the Lord on Friday morning surrounded by his loving wife and children. Joe was a wonderful husband, father, and friend. An Air Force Veteran, Joe faithfully served his country during the Vietnam Conflict from 1968 to 1972. He was a tireless, selfless, and tenacious worker, and he set an incredible example for all to follow. He touched many lives throughout his short time on Earth and was always kind to everyone he encountered. Joe loved nothing more than taking care of his bride of 46 years, Jeanne, and attending his grandkids’ various games, performances, and other events. He was also extremely proud of both his children and all that they have accomplished. An avid sports fan, Joe was a long time season ticket holder of the Lake Blue Streaks Football Program and was active in the Lake Athletic Booster Club for many years. He always enjoyed volunteering to coach youth sports, and was particularly active with the Lake Youth Football and Lake Youth Baseball programs during the time his son was playing. He enjoyed watching and cheering for all the Cleveland Sports teams, the Buckeyes, the Zips, and the Mountaineers. He is preceded in death by his parents, Lois D. Lippe, Jack E. Lippe, and Belle S. Lippe, as well as his sister, Nancy L. Darken. He is survived by his devoted wife, Jeanne; his daughter, Michelle (Randy); his son, Steve (Erin); nephews, Brett and Eric Darken; his eight grandchildren, Emily, Adam, Ava, Ryan, Maria, David, Joshua, and Matthew; and many special friends.
