David John Pipoly, of Kingsley, Michigan, passed away on Sunday, February 17, 2013. He was 52 years old.
David was born to Andrew and Mary (Matecun) Pipoly on October 19, 1960, in Muskegon, Michigan. He graduated from McBain Public High School in 1979. He married Cheryl Powell on May 18, 1991.
David was a proud employee of Gordon Food Services as a sales serviceman for 20 years. He and Cheryl raised two daughters, Noelle and Christa. He enjoyed NASCAR, model rocket launching, working on things in the garage, his tractor and snowmobiles, various carpentry and masonry projects in their home and the family's animals. But most of all, he loved spending time with Noelle and Christa and supported them in their many interests with school, sports and 4-H. Noelle and Christa were the sparkle in his eye, the beat of his heart, the joy of his life. Being a father was his proudest accomplishment and he "always" said how blessed he was for his two beautiful daughters.
