Kenneth Ray Tipton, 55, passed away May 19, 2020 from heart failure, renal failure, and a brain hematoma in Reno, Nevada at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center.

Ken was born to Waylon Ray Tipton Sr. and Judy Ann Gilliam Tipton on January 23, 1965 in Jacksonville, Texas. He worked as a general contractor for the past 28 years. Growing up, Ken had a love for music, guitars, and cars. He loved driving his semi's and making others laugh with his jokes. His laugh was so infectious to those he was around. He loved watching comedians, comedy and action movies, and his all time favorites; Tom and Jerry and The Road Runner Show. His favorite sweet treats were black cherry ice cream, sweet tarts and chocolate-covered cherry cordials. He was passionate about fishing, boating, and motorcycles.

He is survived by his mother Judy (Dean) Jones, siblings; Waylon (Mila) Tipton Jr., Cherry Tipton, Angela Tipton, Glenn Tipton, Kandace Tipton, and Nacole Galloway. His children; Ashley (Vincent) Broom, Nathan (Brenette) Flurry, Wesley Tipton, Joey Moreno, Ashley (John) LeBaron, Jordan (Matt) Tipton, and Dillon Tipton. His Grandchildren; Collin, Xavier, Ansleigh, Braylon, Carter, Makayla (and soon joining the family, Colton), Autumn, Jayden, Harrison, and Isabella.

He was preceded in death by his eldest daughter; Brittany, father; Waylon, maternal grandparents, and paternal grandparents.

A private burial will be held June 27th, 2020 at Oakland Cemetery in Solon, IA.

A special thank you to the team of doctors and nurses at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center for the great care they gave Ken in his final days on earth and to the Cremation Society of Nevada-Northern Nevada Memorial.

Ken's love and laughter will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.
