In Loving Memory of Monte Pipkin

His deep devotion to church and family was the cornerstone of his life.

Monte is lovingly remembered by his mother, Dorothea Pipkin; siblings Kim Pipkin, Kevin Pipkin Sr., Mario Pipkin (Valerie Pipkin), Habeebulah Pipkin, and Bobbi Jean Pipkin; nieces and nephews Kevin Pipkin Jr., Marcellis Pipkin, Taurean Pipkin, Perry Pipkin, Tyrah Moss, and Mariceo Pipkin (Alexis Pipkin); along with numerous grand nieces and nephews who carry forward his light.

He was preceded in death by his father Jimi Pipkin; sister Iris Longmire; brother Jamil Pipkin; and niece Tahlonya Pipkin. Their memories remain forever intertwined with Monte’s own enduring legacy.

A man of authenticity and soul, Monte embraced every moment with sincerity. His presence brought warmth to every room and joy to every gathering.
