David Lynn Tipton Jr, 26, passed away surrounded by family on Saturday, June 13, 2020, at Sanford Health, Bismarck. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM Saturday, June 20, 2020, at Kiwanis Park Shelter 2, Bismarck. David was born June 23, 1993 in Bismarck to David Sr. and Angel (Albrecht) Tipton attended by Aunt Heather Schraeder and Aunt Laurie Veverka. He lived most of his life in Bismarck, where he graduated from high school and met his girlfriend, Amber Hunts Along. He loved spending time with Amber, and especially with her and their daughter, Angel. He loved his daughter beyond words and took every opportunity to show off pictures of his baby. Angel meant the world to David and pictures do not do justice to the joy that was so apparent when they were together. David also loved spending time with animals. From cats and dogs, to rats and snakes, there was no animal David would not immediately bond with. He is dearly missed by his family as well as numerous friends and a multitude of family pets. David was rarely bored. He loved a wide range of music, including Slipknot, Clutch, Ghost, Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, and all things classic rock. He loved to longboard and did so with friends and family whenever he could. He loved to cook and would make meals for his family whenever the occasion arose (he took great pride in learning new recipes and putting his own spin on them for his family). He loved art; from the tattoos he was so proud of to the drawings he spent hours inking out in his down time. He spent enormous amounts of time restoring his truck and was deeply proud when he put the work in to get it running. Tinkering, doodling, and gaming were constant activities that kept him busy. He often used his many talents and shared his many interests to show his family he cared. David is survived by his girlfriend, Amber Hunts Along and the couple's daughter Angel; by his mother, Angel Tipton and her fiance Chris; by his father David Tipton Sr. and his wife Darlene; by his sister Starla Tipton and her boyfriend Michael Mitchell; by his sister Sabrina Biberdorf and her husband Austin; by his maternal grandparents, and by a large extended family including numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. David was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, his paternal grandparents, his uncle Dennis Tipton, and his uncle Pete Quam.
