LAURINBURG — Michael Wayne "Mike" Tippett, 67, of Carolina Shores, passed away to his eternal home on Nov. 23, 2015.

A memorial service to celebrate his life and service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Stewartsville Baptist Church. The family will receive friends immediately following the service at the church. A private interment will be held at a later date in Hillside Memorial Park.

Mike was born on Dec. 19, 1947 in Randolph County, a son of the late Clyde and Viola Yow Tippett. He was a veteran of the United States Army National Guard.

He was a longtime member of Caledonia United Methodist Church and enjoyed attending Village Point United Methodist in Shallotte. He loved classic cars and enjoyed being a member of the Tuesday Cruisers. He loved beach music, eating out, and was an avid sports fan by television only. Mike's greatest times were those spent with his family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandson Noah Tippett and sister Linda Brigman.
