David Nelson Tippery

David Nelson Tippery passed away suddenly at home on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025. David was born in Fort Sill, OK and was the son of Cleo & Katherine Tippery. David was an Army brat in his early years spending time in Oklahoma, Colorado, California, Wisconsin, and Hawaii. When his dad left the Army, David’s family lived in Wisconsin before settling in Amarillo, Texas.

David moved to Dallas in his early 20s and worked at various jobs and eventually became a professional residential mover. In recent years in addition to working for the moving company David started doing “Honey Do” work for some of the people he met from the moving company and his customers became part of his family.

David was happiest spending time with his family and grilling. His favorite foods to grill were brisket, pork, and ribs. He loved watching the grandkids having a good time whether it was water balloons, an inflatable water slide or Nerf Gun wars. He always wore his heart on his sleeve and was fiercely protective of those he loved.
