Robert S. Sipple

Robert (Bob) S. Sipple, 76, went to be with the Lord on July 6, 2023. He was a lifelong resident of the Akron, Ohio area.

Robert's powerful presence could light up a room. At an early age he acquired a great passion for riding and building Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Bob proudly owned a Harley shop "Sipple Speed & Custom" for a period of years in Akron. When he wasn't working on Harley's, he worked construction. His soft heart led him to rescue and care for many animals of all kinds. He loved his family and friends.

Bob showed unmeasurable strength all the way to the end. He will be greatly missed.

Bob is predeceased by his son Michael; his parents Bob and Connie; his siblings Lydia and Mark; and many other loved ones.

Bob is survived by wife, Mary; children Teresa, Todd, and Jason (stepson); brother Jack; grandchildren Anthony, Caitlin, Cody, Nicholas, Bri, Tyler, Jake, Kaci, Sebastian, & Jadyn; nieces and nephews Jennifer, Alan, Anna, Nick, and Jack.

No funeral or memorial service is immediately planned. Teresa will notify family and loved ones in the near future.

A Biker's Prayer

May the sun rise in front of me,

The rain fall behind me

And the wind follow me.

May the Angels guard my travels 

For they know what is ahead of me...

Lord, thank you for letting me be a biker.
