Westside Steve Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 It's with a heavy heart that I relay this piece of news fellow's. Thomas Brendan Gipson aka The Gipper passed away in his sleep last night apparently from natural causes. He was an honourable man a true friend a loving father and husband and a great Brown's fan. More details will be coming out soon. 9 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjh2130 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 So sad to hear. RIP Gip. Doesn't seem real. Definitely had my share of disagreements with him mostly all silly ones. He was without a doubt a true diehard browns fan and I'm glad he got to see the successful season and playoff win last year. I will pray for peace for his family and close friends. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Terrible News... No wonder the Board blew up a few minutes ago...

gumby73 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Your days normal routine, is just never the same with heartbreaking news like this 💔.. RIP Thomas Gibson aka The Gipper...🙏 We've interacted on here, for parts of 7 years on the BB... wishing we got, that Browns fan handshake, at least once It Hurts! I'm stung..and the words just won't come out.. so I'll leave our ending, with a few lines from a Eagles 🦅 song.. that got my last reaction 👍 from The Gipper.. What did I respect? That Thomas Gipson... was Bold...He was Gutz'y.. He protect himself, from being wrong or right (much respect, and that's ok by me)... But mostly... As Loyal of a Browns Fan we could want on here 👍... His Trivia & Other Sports wisdom, were just as entertaining, That I will miss.. Sadly with a 💔....Farewell To our Browns Brother.... The Gipper... Your Honor.. You will Be Missed ! Edit-- Thanks @Westside Steve ...That had to be tuff news to type for yourself.. Sorry as a personal friend to Gip & to many others...Please keep us updated on arrangements & thanks... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Just adding to the tragedy- me and Gipper have been friends on FaceBook for a long time.... There was a family shinding planned for the end of the month celebrating his son getting his Doctoral degree, and his daughter's marriage. That's turned into a funeral wake.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I would love to see a picture of the man if anyone has one.... although it will probably be like whenever I finally get to see a radio disc jockey, and I'm like "naw, that ain't you".

I just went on his FB page, Gip announcing this event was his last status he made. He had recently retired I believe, and his wife just had. What a shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flugel Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Sad news - I'm stunned! I thought we'd have Gipper in here forever posting about the Browns. This was his home. Rest in Peace Gips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Oh, my. Been so busy for a few days, and THIS TRAGEDY hits. God Bless his family and friends - I got to meet Gipper at a tailgate some years ago - was a great guy - nothing like he posts often on the board.... this is really shocking. I didn't know about it til Canton Mike called me. Very, very sad to lose a member of the Brownsboard. See ya one day in that big Browns stadium loge in the sky, Gip.
