It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of a devoted father, loving husband, and incredible family man, Michael Hipwell, who passed away on January 25, 2026, at the age of 45. Michael was the beloved husband of Andrea and the proud father of four amazing boys — Cole, Lucas, Mason, and Dylan — who were truly the center of his world. Everything he and Andrea did was for their children. They were deeply dedicated to giving their boys every opportunity in life, building a home rooted in love, support, stability, and endless encouragement.

To Andrea, Michael was her rock. To his boys, he was a hero, a coach, a role model, their biggest supporter, and the one who never missed a moment to be there. Each of the boys is active in sports, and Michael was always there, on the sidelines, in the stands, and in their lives, cheering them on, guiding them, and shaping who they are becoming. Michael was the kind of man who left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. His kindness, loyalty, and devotion to his family defined who he was. His sudden passing has left Andrea and the boys facing unimaginable grief and a future forever changed.
