RIP Dennis Tippmann Sr.

[JonM]

It has come to my attention that the paintball community has lost a legend on Monday. Details online are scarce at this time, but according to Reddit and information I can find on his son's Facebook page, Dennis Tippmann Sr. has passed away due to COVID-19. I'll post more information as it becomes available.

Rest in peace, Dennis. The paintball community owes you a tremendous debt.

Update: The Reddit post was apparently created by Dennis Tippmann's great nephew.

Update 2: The obituary is available for those who would like to read it.
