Matthew Robert Lipp, 40, passed away on Sunday, January 28th, 2024. He was born on March 16th, 1983 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Robert and Susan (Adam) Lipp. Loving father of Charlotte and Henry Lipp. Beloved brother of Heather Blackburn (Jason), Michael Lipp (Becky), and Stacey Peter (Phillip). Survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family, friends, and girlfriend, Elizabeth McCord. Sgt. Matthew was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He served his country through multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He worked in Aviation Procurement. Matt graduated from Mount St. Joseph University and Elder High School (2001). He was an avid sports fan and lover of the Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Reds. Matty never missed an opportunity to quote Seinfeld and had perfect comedic timing poking fun with his family. He always made you smile and never left a room without making someone laugh. He is in heaven reminding God and those who have passed before him that "we need more cowbell" and "these pretzels are making him thirsty."
