John "Jack" William Stipp

John William "Jack" Stipp, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 11, 2026. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Des Plaines and Arlington Heights.

Jack met his high school sweetheart, Mary Anne, and the two were married for 58 years, building a life together rooted in love, partnership, and family. Together they raised three children, Nikki, Christopher, and Danny, and were blessed with five grandchildren, Nolan, Kelsey, Mia, Ella, and Nina, who were the absolute love of his life who knew him as Big Daddy. Jack was the oldest of six children, Bob, Jewel, Jim, Bill and Mimi.

In 1987, Jack moved his family to Lenexa, Kansas, after being recruited as Director of Purchasing for Sysco Foodservice's Compton division. He spent his entire career in the foodservice industry, building a reputation for integrity and hard work over decades, before retiring in 2014.

In 2020, Jack and Mary Anne moved to Pebble Creek, where he continued to enjoy one of his greatest passions: golf. He became an active and beloved member of the Pebble Creek Men's Club, serving as Secretary, Vice President, and ultimately President, building friendships on and off the course that he cherished for the rest of his life. Wherever he went, his devotion to the Cubs followed close behind, and he never missed a chance to talk baseball or cheer on his team.

Jack will be remembered for his devotion to his family, his love of the game of golf, his unwavering Cubs fandom, and the warmth he brought to every room he entered. He leaves behind a legacy of love, loyalty, and laughter that will live on in all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Anne Stipp; his children, Nikki Slaugh, Christopher Stipp, and Danny Stipp; and his five grandchildren, Nolan, Kelsey, Mia, Ella, and Nina.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that remembrance donations be made to either the National Kidney Foundation or Heart Association.
