Ty Grabern Toby Tipton

TY GRABERN TOBY TIPTON, oldest son of Ron and Stacy Tipton, first born grandson to Doyce and Dorothy Tipton, and brother to Todd Tipton went to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, June 26, 2025.

Born August 03, 1972, in Grapevine, Texas, attended the H.E. B school district before partnering with his dad in the insurance business in 1993 at the Tipton Insurance Agency. Ty could not wait to get into his family insurance business and build a successful business with his father. He was always full of ambition. During his tenure in the family business, Ty introduced countless relationships and lifelong friends that continue to be part of the Tipton family today!

Ty had a wonderful personality, and you could always count on him to make you smile and laugh. He was always engaging in a story or recalling memories of the past.

Ty was a man of charisma and charm, the life of any party, and full of encouragement for those he loved so much. So many of his friends and family members would say he was their biggest fan. He was a man that told you like it was, no matter what. For a man that became physically restricted later in his life, he lived such a fulfilling life and was a person that positively influenced so many people.

Ty was truly one of a kind, and will be missed, but we know that he is with his precious mom in heaven! What a reunion they are having!

He was a son, brother, a cousin, an uncle, a brother in-law, and a friend and confidante. He was loved by many and will be missed. He loved the Lord, his family and Trump!

Ty was ready to go whenever the Lord was ready for him. We just didn’t know it would be so soon! He always said “life is too short to hold on to hard feelings and regrets” so his desire was to live happily and share with others. Let’s pray we can all do the same.

Ty is preceded in death by his mother, grandmothers and grandfathers. Ty is survived by his father, Ron Tipton; brother, Todd Tipton, sister-in-law, Shirdyn Toe and his nephew, Zaiden. He is also remembered by his aunt Deb McMurtre; cousin, Bryan McMurtre, his wife Toni and their sons, Matt McGann, Meier, Miller and Mike McMurtre. Though he may be gone, his spirit lives on in the countless lives he brightened. His memory will forever be a source of strength, love, and inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
