GENE SIPPLE Obituary

March 9, 1944 - December 12, 2016 OKLAHOMA CITY Gene "Bigfoot" Sipple, 03-09-1944 - 12-12-2016. Gene was the type of man that never met a stranger. Always willing to help and seemed to know everyone personally. Gene was also a man with many names. His friends called him "Bigfoot", a name he loved. His family called him husband, dad, and grandpa. That last one was his favorite. After a couple of hard years battling illness and while surrounded by his family, the Lord lifted him from his suffering and called him home. He is survived by his wife, best friend, and greatest champion: Nancy; three children: David, Jeffrey, Bobbi (favorite); and four grandchildren: Logan, Mason, Carson, and Sidney. Memorial services 11 a.m., Thursday at Yanda & Son Funeral Home Chapel, Yukon. Online condolences may be signed at: www.yandafuneral.com
