Chicago, d.30.August.2022
"Damn it feels good to be a messenger" - Mike Gipson,January
2020
It’s with a heavy heart that our family shares the news of Mike’s
sudden passing. Mike was known by many nicknames like 40,
Turbo, Sprinkles, Dad, Brother, Son, Mosquito, Hell Fire, and Uncle
Mike and was a friend to many. Mike never failed to help a
stranger or friend and always strived to put a smile on your face.
Mike is reunited with his Father Paul and grandparents in Heaven. We
miss Mike dearly, but he will forever be in our hearts and souls,
always watching over us and putting a smile on our faces. An update
on services will be posted once all the details are finalized. Thank
you all for loving Mike and our family asks for privacy during our
time of grief, Lukas, Patrick, Margie, Kathleen, and Luz. - Patrick
Gipson
I’ll never forget wallrides and you showing up dressed a as David
Lee Roth for no other reason than it was fun. You were fun. You will
be missed by so many. - Catherine Sophia Rinaldi
We were supposed to go jump in the lake before summer ended man. See
ya on the circuit kid. I’ll miss ya till then. - Chris Quinn
I’m blown away we will miss you - Cullen Falkman
Mike was a wonderful spirit, even though I haven't seen him in a
long time he still meant a lot to me in my formative high school
years. I'll never forget that in my senior semester we took a
cooking class together to fulfill some requirements in high school
and I had a great band of weirdos, which I kept together and they
were the greatest bunch! I miss him and his service was a beautiful
and great tribute. He will be forever missed. - Jerome Klein
I am very very so sorry to hear of this. I remember Mike from before
he even worked for Velocity, which he started in I think 1999. I had
not seen him in a long time, which I am also sorry for. I don't
believe in heaven - but, truly I hope I'm wrong and 40-Burger is now
with Eric (56) and Vinnie (3) and Jimmy (98) in a beautiful place. -

My checkpoint will be dedicated to Mike Gipson, if you knew him your
life was better and if you didn't you missed out on someone great.
Despite being sober for the past few years he knew how to party. So
please behave accordingly and don't give me any of your #messlife
sass. Don't make it harder on yourself than it has to be. RIP
Mike. - Justin Benavidez
