Carl is survived by two children, son Carl Gene Tippin; daughter Jackie Payne and husband Bruce; granddaughter Jennifer Payne Cunningham and husband Jake of Austin; brother Ray Oliver and sister-in-law Louise; sister May Tippin; as well as several nieces and nephews.

  1. Carl was a good man. I will always remember the RV trips to officiate football games. Carl exemplified what a person should be. Carl always had a kind word for everyone. Mike Smith

  2. I send my sympathy to all of Carl’s family and May. I was a classmate in the school system at Oilton, Oklahoma. Our class graduated in 1950.
    I think the last time I saw Carl was at Oilton during the annual alumnus day in 2017.
    May the God of all comfort you all during this time of sorrow. For all who know the Lord Jesus who are still here know the best is yet to come. God bless you all
