In Loving Memory of Donald Wayne Sipe.

Donald Wayne Sipe, 73, passed away on July 23, 2026.

A celebration of Donald's life will be held at Lebanon Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13th with Pastor Dan Alderman officiating. The family will accept friends and family after the service at the community center at the church. 

Born on September 12, 1952, Donald lived a life defined by hard work, love for his family, and a passion for the things that brought him joy. Donald loved fishing and found peace on the water. He also had a passion for restoring old cars and building rat rods, taking great pride in bringing classic vehicles back to life. His craftsmanship, creativity, and dedication were evident in every project he touched. More than anything, Donald treasured his family. His greatest joy came from spending time with those he loved, especially his beloved grandchildren, Brantley Sipe and Wyatt Hancock. Their smiles and laughter brought him endless happiness, and the memories they shared will be cherished forever.

Donald is survived by his loving wife, Machelle Joyce; his daughter, Megan Hancock (Dustin); his sons, Brandon Heath, Mason Joyce, and Dayton Joyce; his cherished grandchildren, Brantley Sipe and Wyatt Hancock; his brother, Garry Sipe (Kathy); as well as many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him deeply.

He is preceded in death by his parents Clarence and Dora Sipe.

Don will be remembered for his generous heart, his love of family, his passion for fishing, and the pride he took in restoring old cars and building one-of-a-kind rat rods. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the memories he created, and the love he shared so freely.

Though he is no longer with us, Donald's spirit will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. May he rest in eternal peace.
