Obituary

On May 25, 2025, Daniel Leon Holden Lippincott, affectionately known as "Lippy" by his Estacada High School 1972 classmates, was called Home to be with his Lord. His quiet passing was witnessed with family surrounding him. Dan enjoyed many career opportunities in his life from insurance salesman, owning a trucking company, mechanicing his own rigs, and finally in his retirement years, he discovered a hidden passion for wood crafting. He also doted on every pet he ever had. He was quite philanthropic. Every winter, while delivering products around Portland, he would hand out warm gloves, hats and sometimes the coats off his back to people struggling in the cold. Monetarily he supported foundations such as Portland Rescue Mission, Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) Israel, Tunnel to Towers and the homeless Veterans.

While his presence is sorely missed, we rejoice knowing he is 'playing football in Heaven' with all the Green Bay Packer greats hailing His Savior Jesus as the Quarterback.

Dan was preceded in death by his daughter, Mary Lippincott and grandson, Jonathan Daniel Ewing. Surviving him are his wife, Kathy (Wheeler) Lippincott, son Leo Paul (LP) Lippincott and daughter T. Laurence; his father and mother, Leo and Shirley Lippincott; his sisters Shawn (Lippincott) Rauscher and Kim (Lippincott) Dodrill; as well as brothers-in laws Randy Rauscher, Brent Dodrill, Willard Lighty, Hank (Jan) Wheeler, Jeff Wheeler, Gregg (Karen) Wheeler, and Gary Boles as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Dan was preceded in death by his father Robert Holden in 1954.

In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made directly to any of the charities he supported.

A special thanks goes to all of his friends and family that were there for us during this difficult time.

Memories & Tributes

Dan was born on February 8, 1954 to Robert G. Holden and Shirley L. Ruckman, in Spokane, Washington. At the time, Bob was a student at Eastern Washington College of Education in Cheney, Washington, just west of Spokane. He received his degree in chemistry in June of 1954 and moved his family back to the Lewiston-Clarkston valley where he began work for Potlatch Forests, Inc. in their paper mill's chemistry division. Bob died on August 20, 1954, leaving Shirley and Dan to rebuild their lives. Later, while visiting in Spokane, Shirley met Leo Lippincott at a mutual friend's home. It was there Leo fell in love with the little boy who had no dad. Leo decided he would like to be that dad. Ultimately, Shirley married Leo and he legally adopted Dan. Shirley and Leo decided they couldn't take away Dan's birth name. He was the only grandson of Dan and Urma Holden. So Dan became Daniel Leon Holden Lippincott.. A big name for a small boy. And Leo was his loving and proud dad for the next 69 plus years.
Dan's struggle with diabetes for the last 35, or so, years was valiant. He fought it in every way possible. Ultimately, diabetes is a progressive disease. We are grateful he no longer suffers. May he truly rest in peace. We will miss him every day for the rest of our lives. Parents aren't supposed to lose children, we believe. In our case, perhaps it's one of the penalties for living such long lives. We are so very grateful for the years he was with us.
