Curtis Flipse's Memorial Fund

Parker, Colorado resident Curtis Wayne Flipse, 49, died Thursday, March 10, 2016.

He was born January 5, 1967, at Goodland, Kansas, the son of Linda Ann (Weigel) and John William “Bill” Flipse.  He graduated from Goodland High School with the class of 1985, and from Northwest Kansas Technical College.

 He served his country in the United States Army.  In 2005, he moved from Maryland to Parker, Colorado.  He was a member of the Parker Christian Church and Veterans of Foreign Wars.  

 His friends and co-workers admired him for his work ethic, integrity, and perfection.  Curt’s foremost devotion was to his children and his fiancée Monique;  playing games and nerf wars with his children, and making sure he was the first to wake them in the morning and tuck them in at night.  He was a lover of fine wine, great food, and having a hot pepper with virtually every dish.  Through his infinite jokes Curt could bring tears of laughter to any room.

Surviving family includes his fiancée Monique Eves of Parker, Colorado; his children John Curtis Flipse,  Rachel Jean Flipse, and Debra DaNae Flipse, all of Parker, Colorado; father John William “Bill” Flipse and his wife Karla of Hays, Kansas; mother Linda Ann Flipse of Phillipsburg, Kansas; brother Dave William Flipse and his wife Carla of Shawnee, Kansas; and three sisters Christy Ann Flipse of Ballwin, Missouri; Rebecca Lynn Huber and her husband Bryon of Kansas City, Kansas; Sarah Marie Flipse of Great Bend, Kansas.  He was preceded in death by his paternal and maternal grandparents.

 The Mass of Christian Burial will be Wednesday, March 16, at 10:00 AM MT, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Goodland, with Father Norbert Dlabal presiding.  Burial, with military honors, will follow in the Goodland Cemetery.

 Vigil will be held Tuesday, March 15, at 7:00 PM MT, at Koons Chapel in Goodland.
