Gregory Gene Shipper

Gregory Gene Shipper was born March 9, 1968 to Bobby Gene Shipper and Betty Marie Zorn of Elkhart, TX. Greg was a longtime resident of Palestine, Texas before moving to Linden.  He was at home with family on January 16th when he went to be with the Lord.  Greg was and will always be a great man.  He had a heart of gold and would give his last dime to help someone in need.  He was always full of jokes or tricks and he never left a person or a room full of people without a smile on their face.  When he was suffering his main concern was still everyone else.  Greg always put family first, blood or not.  He was truly a one of a kind man and will be missed by many.

He was preceded in death by parents, Bobby and Betty Shipper, and his brother, Calvin Shipper.

He is survived by his daughters, Ashlea Clawson, Justine Shipper, Madalyne Shipper; son, Michael Loving; ex-wife, Andrea Hammuck; sisters, Terri Lynn Shipper, Charlotte King; brothers, Craig Hall, Jimmy Martin; nephews, Johnathon Hamilton, Trystin Orange, Trevor Orange, Devin Hall, Tyler Lumpkins; nieces, Shelby Orange, Krysta Hanus, Britne King, Parker Carlisle, Katrina Lankford; two grandchildren and many grand nieces and nephews that he spoiled rotten. Greg also leaves behind many, many great friends.  Steven Gregory, his brother not by blood but by choice.  

Services will be held in Elkhart, Texas at a later date.
